About Innowattech

is based in Ra’anana Israel, with research facilities in the Technion Institute,
Haifa, Israel. It specializes in the development of custom piezoelectric generators
for specific purposes. The company is privately held.
The Innowattech Green Energy Solution:
The piezoelectric phenomenon was first described by the Curie brothers. They observed
that certain materials generate electric current when they are deformed. Today piezoelectric
materials have multiple uses in industry, but most work efficiently only at high
frequencies.

has developed a new breed of piezoelectric generators with a mechanical electrical
association that are ideally suited to harvest the mechanical energy imparted to
roadways from passing vehicles. In addition

has developed a very efficient storage system to collect and store the electricity
produced by these generators. The accumulated energy can be used for local power
needs or routed into the grid.
 's solution is optimal. It maximizes
retrieval of wasted mechanical energy converting it into electrical energy. It then
stores the energy with minimal energy waste. The energy is also produced close to
its end users. It does not require the use and development of vast new areas as
do solar and wind farms.
energy production cycle coincides with consumption peak cycle: peak-hour morning
and evening demand for power coincides with heavy traffic at the start and end of
the business day.
This important feature, not supplied by any other alternative energy solution, reduces
the need of energy companies to oversupply the energy network in order to sustain
the surge in energy consumption during peak times and will thus enable them to delay
investment in new energy producing stations.
 's solution is capable of producing significant
amounts of electricity. Its solution has an economical and commercial advantage
over other green alternatives. The building costs and the expected return on investment
time are estimated to be much lower than for solar energy. The solution is applicable
to any place with heavy vehicle travel and not confined to specific climate and
geographic areas as are solar and wind energy.
Innowattech's advantages:
|
•
|
The movement energy of busy roads, railroads and runways all day long near population
centers can be converted into electrical energy that can be supplied to nearby customers.
|
|
•
|
The electrical storage system which is integrated in the roads, railroads and runways
does not take up any public space and functions in all weather conditions.
|
|
•
|
's electrical storage system does not
require any additional maintenance after its implementation.
|
|
•
|
's solution can serve as information
gatherers in future "Smart Roads" and "Smart Airports".
