Here is another system that harvests energy, electrickery, from moving cars. Supposedly from the shock absorbers. Read here.
Although it actually makes sense I cannot see what benefit this is. At the moment our car batteries are only really taxed during the winter when we are powering windscreen wipers, heating, defrosters and lights. During normal usage our batteries are kept topped up OK. I suppose when we are running all electric cars we will need items like this to help with the range but at the moment simply an expensive gimmick. Maybe we should just put little wheels in the back for the kids to run around.
I wonder how long it will be before they are compulsory?
