Maybe you should run things ? I vote " you " for World Leader. Save us save us from those lazy cops and bad ideas.

Oh FYI "Global Warming" has been happening since the earth was born. Get used to it! No matter how much greenhouses gases we stop creating, the earth still spits out over 96% of the GG's, that not even taking into account the future asteroid impacts on earth. What's gonna happen then? I suppose were just gonna hug a tree and hope for the best?

........ think of it this way. You are an idiot ^^ The amount of nonrenewable power and resources required to create and maintain such a system would completely out weight the purpose of putting it there. Thats why this is merely an new idea, and not revolutionary. More tax payers money wasted on stupid ideas, with no real purpose other than creating jobs in an inevitable failing economy. Of course you don't care, you're pay cheque is from the tax payer also.

my money is on wholethinker...

if the roadway was that flexible already, extracting more energy from its flexing can't possibly come for free, and must come from lousier fuel consumption of all vehicles, even if it's a small fraction of a mile per gallon or liter per 100 kms.

there is NO free lunch, and that's the implication here.

REDUCING the flexing of the roadways would probably improve net fuel consumption enough to run lots of generators for those lamps!

@plusaf "REDUCING the flexing of the roadways would probably improve net fuel consumption enough to run lots of generators for those lamps" - Exactly. And even without the road improvement the overall energy consumption is less when generated by a dedicated power station because there is no energy loss in car's transmission, tyres, etc. on the way to the piezoelectric generator in this case. I'm not mentioning the infrastructure and its maintenance costs.

2:44 You can see how the crystal is deformed while converting the energy. That means the overall flexibility and (most important) the hysteresis is increased. This leads to increased rolling resistance force. The energy collection is possible thus thanks to increased engine power consumption. This is a theft from the gas tank.

3:34 200 kWh per hour (translation from Hebrew was correct) is the same as 200 kW but badly articulated.

@wholethinker ........ think of it this way. No energy collected would just be wasted. Why not collect the tiny fractions of energy from the " many " vehicles travelling along the roadway to help reduce the burden on non renewable sources. It is a step in the direction that we should be going.

@dlaw12345 I have a Word file (5 pages) with calculations and analysis; let me know if you are interested.

The bottom line: using a dedicated generator for road utilities would be more efficient than piezoelectric road. The only benefit of the piezoelectric road: new jobs are created, and it's important when the economy is down.

that idea was mine!! you thieves!!

How is it possible for it to generate that enourmus amount of watts? Every other piezoelectric technology i've read about only generates extremly small amounts of watts.

I can see already all those Jew-haters, especially from oil rich countries going on campain of inciting the Zionists bla bla bla. "ימותו הקנאים "  KOL HAKAVOD

[wholethinker]

@JusticeVSpropaganda Oil rich countries are interested in promoting this piezoelectric road technology because it leads to increased oil consumption. Thus they will be silent in this case.

"KOL HAKAVOD" - KOL HAKAVOD le mi? lo barur.

I think this is going to be huge.
