Turns the road into a power supply

To capitalize on the mechanical means, a company in Israel has built street and highway power generation.

Piezoelectric crystals produce crystals that produce electricity when compressed and they also compress themselves when current passes. If we place piezoelectric crystals under a plastic layer of a road, they will generate electricity when the motor vehicle passes. If you order millions of piezoelectric crystals under the road, they will produce a large amount of electricity. This power can be supplied to the grid or connected to the lighting and heating system.

Innowattech, an Israeli company, said it will launch the world's first 100m electricity production line in a few weeks. The company will also develop power systems for railways and mobile sidewalks at airports. According to experts, if Innowattech's idea is applied across the UK, it could generate enough electricity to supply nearly 35,000 small cars.

Last year, US scientists performed demonstrations at a railway station in Turin, New York, to demonstrate that human trampling could produce electricity. They put a lot of boards on the platform to get passengers on. This force is applied to a generator to rotate the turbine. The expert said a large crowd could supply electricity to a train. If you put the system in a discotheque, it can provide enough power for lighting, air conditioning and sound systems.
