When you say fuel, do you mean gasoline? Like having a battery or a resource that is used up/changed to create energy is inevitable. You could have a gravity powered car or direct solar power maybe could fall outside of those limits

Magnets. I feel like there's an undiscovered power of magnets that can generate the energy a car needs. I know it sounds crazy, but all ideas do until you prove them right.

Being a mechanical engineer, it's the energy at work, thus when you say fuel or gasoline it's the conversion of chemical energy into thermal energy, which then converts to mechanical energy.
Similarly in electric vehicle the mechanical energy is taken out by chemical energy conversion.
There is another form that is used to store energy i.e potential, but you need large area to store such kind of energy be it gravitational potential or elastic potential.
Watches can run on the vibrations of quartz crystal but they can't overcome the friction in the large system of cars as compared to watches.
Steam can be an option, work is being done on hydrogen too. Direct solar is electric.

Help- my SIL showed me two dresses she rented for my shower, and I think they are super bridal/not very appropriate to wear as a guest or bridesmaid. I have asked others and they agree. I feel like my own outfit, a simple jumpsuit, pales in comparison to how over the top these dresses are. What can I say or do? I feel really down but also don’t want to start WW3 by saying something to her. I feel like I now need to rush to buy a new outfit.
