I am very much interested in energy consumption and recycled products. Would like to know how that speed bump system would work on a large scale e.g. if speed bumps in the uk were replaced with them and linked to the national grid how much energy would be produced from them.

As I understand it, the scheme /must/ take extra energy from the vehicles. That's basic thermodynamics, energy is neither created nor destroyed. The generator is making energy from taking it from the cars. The main nice thing about placing them in slow-traffic areas is the bumps won't be so disruptive / annoying :) A cute idea for powering drive-thrus tho :) “The manufacturer envisions larger MotionPower machines installed in places where traffic is slowing down to prevent the scheme from requiring extra energy input from vehicles.”
