"OT"

Oddly enough Tito, your idea could have merit. Being an Electrical Engineer, I recently thought something similar (about two days ago).

We should have our overpasses wired. Think about each overpass having two coils looped around each of the lanes traveling in the same direction. As each car goes under an overpass they pass through the coiled wires. As this happens each car acts as the movable core of an “Auto”Transformer generating energy.

Or maybe not.
