Here’s an interesting, eco-friendly idea! Cars could power up the checkouts of a supermarket! In fact a certain supermarket in Gloucester, UK has installed kinetic plates in the parking lot. They use the weight of the car to press against a series of hydraulic pipes which in turn will drive a generator. The system will thus generate 30kw per hour, enough to power the checkouts. Pretty ingenious isn’t it? Will this idea be used by other supermarkets?
