Washington, February 13 : Undergraduate students at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have found a way to generate electricity by harnessing energy from small bumps in the road.

The researchers say that a shock absorber invented by them can make this possible, while smoothing the ride more effectively than conventional shocks.

The new system also has a fail-safe feature-if the electronics fail for any reason, the system simply acts like a regular shock absorber.

Having already courted the U. S. military and several truck manufacturers, the students are hoping to initially find customers among companies that operate large fleets of heavy vehicles.
