electric energy converted into elctric energy?

i have an idea,can we connect some kind of gear wheels with a box and a big wind mill fan with dynamo to produce energy in giant wheels,like excample giant wheel rotate in clock wise the blade of windmill in anticlock wise will it work or not,is it good idea?

    the laws of thermodynamics address this. Every time you convert energy from one form to another, you lose energy. Take electricity, it doesn't exist so we take energy in fuels and burn them to make heat, this is a chemical reaction in burning. Burning loses energy. Then the heat is used to make steam so we had heat and kinetic and potential energy in the form of high temp and press on the steam. This loses energy.

    We take the steam and the turbines, which is a mechanical energy. Finally, the mechanical Kenitec energy of the turbine spinning makes electricity, at another lose. If you charge a battery to make chemical energy and use the battery to run a car, you reverse the chemical energy to make electricity and eventually make mechanical energy to run the car, more loses.

    The bottom line is, we must use energy with as few steps as possible. Burning natural gas to heat a house has only one step. Burning natural gas to make electricity to run cars has 10 steps and we lose so much energy that it is nearly sinful.

    when air moves quickly, in the form of wind they have some force and this force can be captured, just like the energy in moving water can be captured by the turbine in a hydroelectric dam. In the case of a wind-electric turbine, the turbine blades are designed to capture the kinetic energy in wind. The rest is nearly identical to a hydroelectric setup: When the turbine blades capture wind energy and start moving, they spin a shaft that leads from the hub of the rotor to a generator. The generator turns that rotational energy into electricity. At its essence, generating electricity from the wind is all about transferring energy from one medium to another.

    your idea is very good, only problem is that various companies already manufacturing wind mills and other products based on that idea. you can watch a video of bicycle dynamo battery charger on this website
