Transforming roads into electrical generators
/Cars and Vehicles
The Flash 9.0.0 plugin or higher is required to view content on this page, but was not detected on your browser.
It should be possible to convert the kinetic energy from automobiles into electricity by placing an aparatus in the roads.
One option could be crystals to generate a piezoelectric effect that converts the pressure of the vehicles into an electric charge. This idea would require a chemical / civil engineering background which I don't posses.
