Drive over the 'Electro-Kinetic Road Ramp' and generate speed bump electricity!

Hughes Research, Ltd., UK are working on a ramp mechanism called 'Electro-Kinetic Road Ramp', that helps in generating electricity when the cables positioned under the road contract and expand under the weight of passing vehicles.

The researchers at Hughes Research say:

We are proud to present the Electro-Kinetic Road Ramp. The Ramp operates by virtue of a number of articulated plates placed in the road. When vehicles weight is exerted on the plates they are moved up and down and by means of a specially designed and developed mechanism, a generator is driven, which is capable of producing AC current at 50 cycles or DC current.
