Read my first story for Mother Nature Network:
Innowattech is touting what they call, “parasitic energy harvesting,” a system that exploits the motion of vehicles rolling over sturdy, flexible pads buried beneath the roadway. Company officials say their technology also works on airport runways, railway tracks and pedestrian sidewalks.The company says their patented piezoelectric generators produce “energy from weight, motion, vibration and temperature changes.”
