Terry Kenney ’s Dragon Power Station prototype works by harness the energizing Energy Department of truck passing over plate eat up in the road and twist that zip into electricity . The system he ’s got set up now in the Port of Oakland , with 2,500 trucks passing over it in a day , is enough to power 1,750 homes . It ’s a very interesting concept that can be extended to busier streets , harnessing a little bit of the energy that would otherwise be lose .
It ’s not all devoid energy , however , as these hand truck slow down ever - so - slightly as they press down the plates in the road . TreeHugger supposesthat this would be even upright for the time when you actually do need to decelerate down , like going down a hill , where they could laden up on these plates and slow down car enough to not have to twit the brakes the whole fashion . Sounds good to us . [ Treehugger ]
