BURTONSVILLE, Maryland – New Energy Technologies Inc., a next-generation alternative and renewable energy developer, has announced successful completion of its first-ever MotionPower™ prototype energy harvester for heavy trucks and vehicles for installation at such locations as truck stops, weigh scales, commercial ports of entry, and distribution centres.
MotionPower technology is a roadway-based system that is designed for installation in locations where vehicles decelerate or stop. It assists vehicles in slowing down, and in the process of doing so, captures the vehicles’ motion energy before it is lost as brake heat, and creatively converts that energy into clean ‘green’ electricity.
