If it were possible for a plane to take off from a conveyor type runway, how come one doesn't exist?

The plane would still have to move relative to the ground on said runway. It would be difficult to create and wouldn actually make it harder since more energy would be required to take off it than a stationary runway, since real airplane wheels have friction.
