Nothing could be more interesting than seeing new technologies that points to new sources of green energy, the Electricity From Busy Roads Wind. As the world is battling with the effects of exhausted carbons in the atmosphere, the need to look inwards for alternative power sources has become inevitable.
There are lots of ongoing efforts to stop the carbon emission energy and replace it with renewable energy known as green energy. From the introduction of solar system to hydro-energy, rechargeable chemical energy, and other possible options.
Based on the above need, developed nations are already displaying their steps taken so far to replace the existing technology with green energy, a good example is the introduction of electric cars, solar plants, wind turbines, and hydro turbines.
To make the process more effective, some countries have completely removed the traditional method of lightening the streets and replaced it with rechargeable solar energy equipped with powerful rechargeable storage cells.
Besides the street lights, modern machines are now manufactured to work with minimal electric energy such that they can operate with low energy source of electricity such the ones mentioned above. Traffic lights control, drones, milling machines, grinders, electric fan, and lots more now consume 50% less energy than what it used to be.
The video below reveals how modern Asia, U.S.A, and streets of Europe are applying the modern technology to generate new source of energy to power the necessary electronic devices within the road. Using the wind generated from busy roads, the setup was able to generate enough energy to power the necessary appliances connected to it.
With the use of solar panel as a support to balance the uneven time of turning by the turbine and keep the energy flow steady coupled with invisible rechargeable battery receiving the power supplied by the two energy sources the appliances will not experience the uneven power supply from the turbine.
Positioned at the center of two busy roads with a solar panel mounted on the aerial axis, the vertically-designed wind turbine receives heavy intermediate winds from both sides of the roads forcing the blades to push the turbine to the clockwise direction.
The winds received from both sides keep the turbine in steady rotation. However, the rotation drops once there is a decrease in the number of vehicles passing through the busy roads or when the speed of the cars passing through the busy roads drops.
Though the system seems to have some level of success, it can still be improved upon and be lined up on busy roads to give out substantial energy that carry sizeable appliances including street lights.
