Israel makes electricity from road traffic
In a development that could have implications for the world's dependence on Arab oil, an Israeli start-up company has shown that it is possible to make electricity from generators placed beneath a paved road.Israeli scientists have achieved a breakthrough in alternative energy, by generating electricity from road traffic. The technology was developed by Ra'anana-based start up Innowwattech Ltd., and Israel National Roads Company Ltd. and the Technion Israel Institute of Technology participated in the trial.While the rest of the world continues to do nothing on the alternative energy front, Israel takes the lead. Want to boycott us? Go right ahead. And go straight back to the 8th century CE.
Innowwattech says that presents a pioneering invention for "Parasitic Energy harvesting".
The trial proved, for the first time in the world, how Israeli technology can generate electricity from generators installed beneath a road's asphalt layer. The trial was conducted along a ten-meter stretch of Road 4 at the Hefer Junction, north of Hadera. Following the success of the test, it will be expanded to several one-kilometer stretches of the road, one of Israel's main north-south traffic arteries.

Jews can accomplish amazing things. That is why the world has always been jealous of Israel.
Heh
Alas, the cars themselves will still need the fuel obtained from oil, so this particular invention won't eliminate our dependence on oil import.
This is really interesting.
Next they shoulg generate electricity from the solar heat generated by the asphalt
I have been thinking about this before.. yes only in the mind because I have no resources to try... another possibility is constant pressure... a heavy weight making constant pressure and thereby generate electric power...I don't know if this has been done before ... I am from the Philippines
I have thought of this before but I have no resources to try.. I am thinking also of another.... a constant pressure coming from a heavy object... this can generate power I believe... I am from the Philippines...
another possibility is constant pressure below coming from a heavy object.. this can generate electricity I believe
