Electro Kinetic Road Ramp

Hughes Research has developed this interesting idea: a ramp for cars that converts some of the car movement energy in electrical energy. Basically when a car pass over the ramp, the ramp get pressed, activating an alternator that charge an accumulator.

I don’t think is a revolutionary concept, as no new energy is produced, but in essence can be a powerful way to tax the car drivers of some energetical value.

    thank u lot

  • this is RAGHU.D I am doing my third year B.E – MECHANICAL ENGINEERING in M.KUMARASAMY COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING TAMIL NADU INDIA. I am doing a project called VEHICLE IMPACT FOR POWER GENERATION this is more successful project and I saw the electro kinetic road ramp now and both are some what similar I am interested in doing a joint operation on this project work.

  • sir plz give me information and why is this project usd because m a student of classs 9 and m doing a project on conversion of energy
    what is the principle
    how does it happen
    where is it used
