Description
“P-eco” is basically an electric vehicle but it has four piezoelectric devices on the front and rear section of the driver’s seat. When the vehicle moves, weights strained by multiple chords start to vibrates as high frequency and these vibrations translate to electric energy to charge the vehicle’s battery. Though it depends on the efficiency of piezoelectric devices, at least it will increases mileage per battery charge.
