Hi Mitch-c, I think more like an Artist than a Scientist so different ideas keep coming to me from time to time. One is of this Highway Power I posted and in which StanX responded to. You see, as I understand in a Hydro-electric power plant, Water from a dam is released to rush downward and then somehow cause Turbines to spin generating electricity. Now, in a 4 lane highway, there's a stream of cars passing by. Somehow I imagine the water rushing down from a dam is similar to cars passing by in a highway. Maybe somebody could figure out planting devices on the surface of the roads that when stepped on by the car wheels cause vibrations or something similar that in turn cause small turbines planted along the highways linked to each other with electrical wires to do their thing. Really I'm a dreamer: --- why can't some body figure out how to attach a Dynamo on car wheels to generate electricity so as to help the car use less gasoline? CHIPs would play important roles in directing different power traffic.
