Invented the first tire capable of generating energy and charging a battery

The American multinational in the Goodyear tire sector is about to revolutionize the world of spare parts and automotive parts. Engineers and scientists at the company's research center in Luxembourg have designed a prototype tire capable of generating energy by itself while rolling and storing it in a battery for later use. This invention would represent a great advance in hybrid propulsion engines but could also be applied in trucks, heavy vehicles and transport vehicles in general to reduce consumption and also CO2 emissions. The prototype is called BH-03 and has an internal thermoelectric structure that transforms the heat generated inside the wheel while it is rolling into electrical energy. also inside the tire there is a piezoelectric structure that also converts the deformation of the carcass and the vibrations of the wheel itself into electricity. Under normal circumstances, a truck or a car loses 15% of energy as a result of friction between the tires and the asphalt. 

Although it is still in the experimental phase, the BH-03 represents a great advance technology for the sector and opens the doors to new prototypes and applications.

To celebrate this scientific event, Recambiosdelcamion.com and Recambios España are promoting the entire catalog of accessories and spare parts for truck batteries and professional vehicles: disconnectors, connectors, terminals, starter clips, etc. As always, the best quality, at the best price.
