COMPANY SEES POTENTIAL IN KINETIC ENERGY CAPTURE

TO GO WITH AFP STORY US-ENERGY-ENVIRONMENT-TECHNOLOGYThis undated handout image provided by Beckerman Public Relations on November 9, 2011 shows a vehicle driving over small rumble strip-like treadles made by Maryland-based New Energy Technologies. Amid a search on for greener and sustainable energy, one company is introducing a way to capture energy from cars and trucks which is otherwise wasted to generate electricity. Although the notion of "harvesting" kinetic energy is not new, the "rumble strip" devices by Maryland-based New Energy Technologies appear to be among the the first coming to the market offering a way to generate energy from moving vehicles. "We take some of that rolling resistance and capture it and convert it to electricity," company chief executive John Conklin told AFP. As drivers slowed down, or came to a stop, their vehicle tires depressed small rumble strip-like treadles, allowing for the capture of kinetic energy. This captured energy was converted to electricity, which powered a series of brightly illuminated lights displayed to drivers. ( automatický překlad do češtiny  ) ( zobrazit originální popisek v angličtině )
