New Technology Produces Electricity from Highway Traffic

we could obtain electricity by simply putting the weight of cars and pedestrians to good use? This is the question posed recently by a group of entrepreneurs and innovators in Mexico, led by researchers Héctor Ricardo Macías Hernández.

The expert developed a new system of harness electricity that could prove very efficient. He and his team propose that highways and roads be outfitted with a series of devices that would turn the weight of passing energy into electrical current.

The team believes that this process could generate enough current to make the initial investment worthwhile.
A single energy-harnessing device of the type the Mexican group proposes could theoretically produce enough electricity to power up an entire household for a day, Science Daily reports. These tools work based on the standard laws of gravitational energy
