Technology to make high speed while reducing noise and creating clean energy for the city

Combining two technologies as one, the Netherlands is in the hands of something extremely versatile.

The evolution of this technology had new breakthrough inventions, and then again, in a way that combined a two or two inventions into a new, more versatile invention. According to the idiom that our family used, it was a double-hit arrow.

This is an environmentally friendly solution to address urban noise pollution.

In the Netherlands, researchers have obtained such an " arrow" when combining solar technology with a layer of noise-reducing material, producing a final product of a solar panel. always make soundproof barriers. They hope that this will be an environmentally friendly solution to solve the problem of noise pollution which is very difficult in big urban areas.

Michael Debije at Eindhoven University of Technology, a prototype researcher and developer of the technology, also published his early achievements in Nature in March 2015. His product It is called Solar Noise Barriers (SONOB) , a very necessary technology for the aching problems in the city.

This product is called Solar Noise Barriers.

The SONOB project has four other members who are four separate companies, with the aim of finding the most environmentally friendly material: a technology that reduces noise pollution and creates energy clean amount. They are Eindhoven University of Technology, ECN Netherlands Energy Research Center, SEAC Solar Application Center and Van Campen Engineering and Dutch Space Agency.

The idea of ​​technology is beautifully decorated plastic sheets, capable of absorbing light, conveying the energy gained to a solar device in the frame of the system. Previously, the SONOB was just an idea on paper but just recently, on the A2 highway near Den Bosch, the Netherlands, two SONOB panels were installed to test their operation in all kinds of time conditions. Extreme weather of the highway.

This test is expected to be completed by the middle of this year and if it works, we will be able to see colorful soundproofing panels that are extremely useful to appear on highways all over the world. .
