Generating clean energy from our cars is possible
Our cars and trucks, apart from using up energy and polluting the environment by producing carbon monoxide, can also be used to produce energy, and more specifically, kinetic energy, that is, the energy that comes from their very motion.
The problem is that, so far, there was no technology that could be used to gather this kinetic energy, in order to store and use it. This gap is now filled by Motion Power, an energy gathering system made up of an array of panels, that can be placed on the road near highway exits, tolling stations, service stations, or in short in all those places where the cars are dispersing energy by slowing down.
By driving on these panels, the energy is transferred towards a harnessing and storage system. The system has been recently improved, resulting in a 25-fold performance increase if compared to previous versions of Motion Power.
The old version, in fact, was giving its best when a slowing car was driving over the panels, while the energy created by a fast drive through was basically lost due to the high speed.
If only we think about how many millions of vehicles are driving on our roads every day, we can imagine that gathering even just a small fraction of that energy could have an absolutely tremendous impact on production of electricity for households and industries, and all this, in an absolutely clean way, without polluting the air and the sea to produce power.
