New Energy Technologies has just announced that it will be testing a new renewable energy generator - at a Burger King drive-thru! The low profile MotionPower generator captures the "kinetic energy" of moving vehicles and turns it into electrical power. The device will be tested at a high-turnover Burger King location in New Jersey. If it lives up to its promise, it could be used at other places with high through-traffic like tollbooths, traffic intersections and neighborhoods with "traffic calming" devices like speed bumps and entry gates. Imagine a future where the Mass Turnpike can recoup some of its operating costs by selling electricity to the electric company - how cool would that be?
