Potholes , while ruining tyre and induce acute levels of irritation , could be put to good utilization soon , if Levant Power Corporation ’s plan to develop a shock absorber that harness the zip made from chuckhole ’ jar in reality go ahead .
We first heard of Levant Power Corporation ’s CEOShakeel Avadhany‘splans last twelvemonth , when he was an undergraduate bookman at MIT , but over a twelvemonth afterward his environment - favorable plan is still going strong . In fact , he hopes to see the GenShocks devices on the market in the second quarter of 2011 .
MIT Shock Absorbers Harness Speed Bump Energy For Better Fuel economic system
While terms still have n’t been revealed for the GenShocks , they ’re estimated to be more than usualshock absorber , though Avadhany says “ you will get those dollars back through improved fuel economic system . ” Another one of those ‘ drop some money , get money back in delivery ’ case devices .
I do n’t want to rain on Avadhany ’s dream , but given the pick I ’d much rather see local council fill in the potholes than have a employment - around for gaining benefits from the unsightly hole . [ NY Times ]
