This article looked interesting. It seems they place them on the road in place of speed bumps and when a car goes over them they generate electricity and at no cost either after the initial investment.
Now if I remember from school, not sure if they teach this nowadays as it contradicts the article, but Energy is neither created nor destroyed but merely converted. This conversion is never 100% efficient so some is wasted during the conversion process. Basic Physics.
So this unit must be taking the energy from the cars itself. Thus making them work harder and therefore using more fuel. In effect making them less efficient and increasing their contribution to the Global Warming scam.
So just to summarize;
- Bumps take energy from the cars
- Motorists fuel costs go up
- Drivers are screwed again
- Councils save on energy costs
- Councils sell it as a green solution
So it’s theft pure and simple but as it is by the government it’s acceptable as usual.
But, no free energy, no real benefit and certainly not as a source of green energy. Car engines giving green energy that must be stretching it a bit even for professional liars. It’s not going to do anything positive at all. Oh, unless you consider the manufacturers who will make a mint because it’s labelled green.
