Interests in technology capturing energy from vehicle slowing
  • regenerative breaking - but not in most vehicles
  • how much energy and how to capture?
  • built into the road infrastructure?
generalized to the output of waste heat. happens in almost any device that is running on electricity. how to convert heat escape to energy? back into the device or for use in a different purpose

reduce energy consumption, produce less heat, convert heat back to energy

topic: Capture & Regen Waste Heat to Energy Input
e.g.
  • automoative
  • home appliances and entertainment
  • HVAC
  • mass transport
  • industrial
  • aviation
  • buildings/architecture
Challenge: How to capture? (once captured need to convert)

e.g. Elevators that capture energy from going down to use going up

Explore
  • Local capture & transfer
  • Broader transfer to other uses/devices
  • is there synergy with solar type?
  • is there a collective approach?
