Generating Electricity from Moving Vehicles

A company called New Energy Technologies, Inc. has designed a system called MotionPower which can trap kinetic energy drivers generate simply by driving over an energy-capturing device on the road.
The MotionPower system is designed to be installed at high traffic locations such as tollbooths, traffic intersections, rest areas, travel plazas, restaurant and bank drive-thrus, border crossings, and neighborhoods with traffic calming zones.
New Energy engineers have built and tested the first prototype, and are working to optimize the efficiency of the system that can potentially produce energy from the 250 million vehicles on the road in the US.
