Asphalt Electricity

Strange as it may sound strange coming from a realistic source of energy in the "asphalt." The hot summer months, especially if the evening after sunset If you walk barefoot on the asphalt road, asphalt to realize how efficient is a heat-holder.

Scientists working in the Worcester Polytechnic Institute in America, a few centimeters below the asphalt to the asphalt to take advantage of the heat retention properties of heat exchangers have had the furnishing of electricity and hot water. Especially because I say a few centimeters, the maximum temperature in this area consists of asphalt. In case of aggregates used in asphalt during experiments of the genus quarzit increased conductivity also noticed quite. Also on the asphalt surface reflection will become a special thanks to minimize paint.


Another striking feature of asphalt for a long time even after the sun sets in the heat with this property that is currently used to maintain the same solar energy electricity cells produce many times more energy means.

Now how this energy is computed efficiently transported in a state of living areas. One of them is under the copper pipes, laying of asphalt roads and living areas, so that the heating and hot water or generate electricity using a thermoelectric plant. A green project, more ..
