The future of energy? (I HAVE AN IDEA! two ideas actually)



introduction: no need to read this actually I woke up at 3:30am to eat and take my meds then created my research paper. Once I was done, I forgot how but I watched videos from Dnews in Youtube about Energy, which was related to my research paper and I got hooked because this could really help the world and I have Mechanical Engineering people and other engineering friends who can be inspired with these. Anyhow:

Upon watching until 4:18 when the speaker was saying "We must think about how our other energy usage could be transferred into electric supply then we could've caused so much generated electricity cleanly." I SUDDENLY HAD AN IDEA!

--because there was a clip of a bunch of vehicles on the road during that statement, I thought: why not generate electricity from the vibrations or whatever forces vehicles generate on the concrete pavements? (I'm no engineer though)

People usually complain about the roads being the cause of heat island effect, now with that idea, at least it would provide more use right? Especially in megacities where there are always vehicles and the traffic is terrible.

Also! (Idea #2) Since concrete roads are huge heat absorbers, why not generate electricity from that? An innovator should design some LITTLE contraption-whatsoever for it :)
