Tires leveraging bumpy roads
March 9, 2024
Next time you hit a bumpy road, your tires could generate energy for you!
Usually, on a rough path, the kinetic energy from the tire’s bounce is lost as it dissipates into heat. However, it could be harnessed and converted into power instead.

The proposed system has a gravitational energy-converting device within the tire. As the vehicle moves, it presses down on converters, storing energy used to push the vehicle forward, turning wasted heat into useful motion.
