Can vehicle charging-roads power our electric future? Roads create energy for electric vehicles Energy harvesting is nothing new Historically, researchers have long been interested inkinetic energy. This includes, for instance, research into creatingenergy-harvesting bootsthat gain energy through walking and hearable tech powered byjaw movements. Today you can see this kind of energy in action with thePower Watch, which runs on thermoelectrics. But it’s preceded by the ultimate yuppie status trend of the 1980s, the Quartz watch....
