Spine smart generates energy  when the cars pass


The electricity created will be used to light poles, traffic lights and even its spine during the night
,, Instead of speed bumps made of asphalt and concrete, what do you think of a bump of plastic that uses the weight of cars to generate electricity? The system was the idea of English designer Peter Hughes, who intends to use the extra energy to light up light poles, traffic lights and even her spine, which would be lit up at night so that no one leave behind when the exhaust passes through it.

Lombada inteligente gera energia enquanto carros passam

A eletricidade criada ser� usada para acender postes, sem�foros e at� a pr�pria lombada durante a noite. Em vez de lombadas feitas de asfalto e concreto, que tal uma lombada de pl�stico que usa o peso dos carros para gerar eletricidade? O sistema foi ideia do designer ingl�s Peter Hughes, que pretende usar a energia extra para acender postes de luz, sem�foros e at� a pr�pria lombada, que ficaria iluminada durante a noite, para que ningu�m mais deixe o escapamento para tr�s quando passar

lamp posts not light poles

spine? do you mean the white lines in the centre of the road? spine is the middle of you back or a book.

this part is not correct: no one leave behind when the exhaust passes through it.
not sure what you mean though. could it be:

no-one leaves their exhaust pipe behind when they go over it.

"used to light poles" I think "to power" would be more aproriate than "to light".
