According Innowattech (a company that will soon be known) the aggregate amount of mechanical energy is wasted when almost one million vehicles moving on the roads around the world. Piezoelectric power generators collect and accumulate in the battery on the edge of the roads that can be used by persons, houses, offices etc. This process is also known as parasitic energy collection.
Under the first layer of asphalt is installed a layer of piezoelectric crystals that produce electricity when they are crushed.
Just a street, the runway of a railroad to produce green energy
According Innowattech those of the Piezo electric generator (the IPEG) should be able to produce 200KWh, while a highway of four lanes produces approximately 1 MWh of electricity per kilometer, enough to supply electricity to 2,500 families. Given that Israel has around 250 km of roadways usable for this type of technology, and considering the traffic volumes and the mass of vehicles each day through its streets, can very well imagine how much electricity can be produced.
The same technology can be perfected on airport runways and railways railways. The system also has the ability to provide real-time data on the weight, the frequency and speed of vehicles in transit as well as the distance between vehicles.
"The technology is based on piezoelectric materials that enable the conversion of mechanical energy exerted by the weight of vehicles to drive directly into electricity. As the drivers can really be worried about the road is same "as Dott.sa Lucy Edery-Azulay, the project director.
A road test is being built in Israel, this test will test both the productivity and the real ecology of these materials In addition, it will be assessed the economic feasibility ..
piezoelectric technologies arrive in Japan. Thanks to the particular platform, the Japanese will be able to create clean energy directly from the person's past.
Clean energy created directly by the person's past. The carpet piezoelectric free and renewable energy.
of Piezo applications we have already seen many from the nightclub in Rotterdam, the gym of California, without forgetting the London Underground or the pacemaker for the heart. To the list today we add the sidewalks in Japan.
The system has been installed outside the train station in Shibuya-Tokyo-ready to capture all the energy of travelers. For each step of a person, at least 60 pounds, the piezoelectric system can generate 0.5 kWh.
