JR claims that this sort of human-powered electricity generation system may provide a portion of the electricity consumed at train stations in the future.The ticket gate electricity generation system relies on a series of piezo elements embedded in the floor under the ticket gates, which generate electricity from the pressure and vibration they receive as people step on them. When combined with high-efficiency storage systems, the ticket gate generators can serve as a clean source of supplementary power for the train stations. Busy train stations (and those with large numbers of passengers willing to bounce heavily through the gates) will be able to accumulate a relatively large amount of electricity.Shiro Hosojimahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12511529696715697805noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2113711943995180981.post-80417092637680077592007-07-30T13:51:00.000+09:002007-07-30T13:53:09.450+09:00Gina Hara<embed style="width:320px; height:250px;" id="VideoPlayback" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://video.google.com/googleplayer.swf?docId=-1355248020735487610&hl=en" flashvars=""> </embed>Shiro Hosojimahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12511529696715697805noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2113711943995180981.post-14972229375119833722007-07-30T13:50:00.000+09:002007-07-30T13:53:31.329+09:00William Powrie<embed style="width:320px; height:250px;" id="VideoPlayback" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://video.google.com/googleplayer.swf?docId=7506477890393189301&hl=en" flashvars=""> </embed>Shiro Hosojimahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12511529696715697805noreply@blogger.com0
