Regenerative Power supply

Hello Pals There is this concept that I don't understand. Its all aboutgenerating power (AC of course)from from a group of batteriers andtapping some of the output to charge the batteries-- so it becomes acycle. Infact I have challenged this concept until I head it in thenews that someone has developed one in Ghana and he is actually usingit to power his house and a car. My simple college physics tells methat this will not be possible since no machine or device is 100%efficient. Can someone brief me on this or show me where I can get moreinfo on this topic. Thanks to all.

It's certainly possible, though in a car the energy you recover is probably less than what you'd expend hauling around all the extra weight.
