This is a first time, when the supermarket is powered by cars running over special kinetic road plates. Shopping has never been so efficient, no doubts. The idea is that the weight of your car can be useful to generate electricity. Principle of operation includes these built-in kinetic plates to be pushed down by the weight of your car which is running over them. Due to this sustainable concept, hydraulic pipes are capable of driving a generator.
These green plates produce up to 30 kw of green power per hour which is apparently enough to power checkouts of the supermarket. It is quite interesting that the system operates the same way it is used in Formula 1 which apply their kinetic energy while braking to produce speed.
It seems the system can be able to power even roller coasters if used in theme parks. Additionally, this green system will make it possible to gather some rainwater to be used for flushing toilets within two years. Now that there is this cutting edge technology, shoppers can take active part in powering checkout lines.
With such a smart idea, the supermarket will evidently reduce its carbon emission and be stand out of a crowd with this sustainable approach. Besides, the solar thermal panels of the supermarket will be capable of heating water during a summer.
