The Road to the Future May Produce Its Own Electricity

Some 250 million vehicles drive over 6 billion miles on American roads every day. To exploit this as an untapped resource, New Energy Technologies has developed its MotionPower technology, which captures the kinetic energy of these cars and trucks and uses it to generate clean electricity. In Israel, engineers are testing a network of Piezo Electric Generators (IPEGs) to convert the mechanical strain of passing vehicles into electrical current.

In the U.S., MotionPower prototype systems have been installed for testing in three locations
