Dual generator vehicle?

An idea for the car enthusiast. Is it possible to create a dual generated car? What I mean, a car has two electric generators: the main and the secondary. The main generator powers the whole vehicle and also powers the secondary generator which, the secondary generator, in turns repowers the main generator creating a continuous elctric circuit. So if this is possible you can create a vehicle that will never run out of fuel.

What do you think. Is it possible?

Update:

I have thought about how to power the generator. I have a couple ideas. 1: use car batteries to give enough energy to start the main or secondary generator (which ever one requires the least amount of watts). Or 2: use a solar panel.

    Impossible, and contrary to basic knowledge that stipulate that you can not create energy out of nothing.

    No. You need power to drive a generator.

    That power has to come from somewhere.

    The only vehicle that never runs out of fuel

    is the one that doesn't move.

    Not very practical is it?

    totally impossible. It involves designing generators and motors that have an efficiency of greater than 100%, and that violates the most fundamental laws of thermodynamics.
