New Concept Tire Could Recharge Car Battery

Posted by timothy on from the perpetual-motion-machine dept.

randomErr writes Goodyear Tire showed off its new BH03 tire that can partially recharge your electric car while driving. At the 2015 Geneva International Motor Show a new concept tire was displayed that uses heat generated while driving and converts the thermal energy to electrical power. The triple inner tube design changes pressure to maximize electrical output while adjusting to the road conditions.

    Or its own extra apostrophes.
