AC fix - design improvement

A more elegant solution would be to mount a 12v wind generator on the roof and use an inverter to drive the AC ....... with a 180 mount so you can use it as a propellor for added boost for overtaking..........

do you think that prop would drive a generator? of course I recommend more structural integraty than a ragtop can provide...

Yeah, maybe he just needed a belt for his A/C compressor! (Likely not, but you never know. )
