article_snippet: Goodyear’s concept BH03 tyre (illustrated) is fitted with thermo-piezoelectric materials that convert heat into energy to charge an electric car without the need for a charging station.
article_snippet: Called BH023, the tyre concept is fitted with thermo-piezoelectric materials.
article_snippet: When parked, sunlight heats Goodyear’s concept BH03 tyre (illustrated) and this heat is transformed into electricity using the thermo-electric material.
article_snippet: When being driven, the friction between the tyre and the road as well as the ‘squeezing’ and movement of the piezoelectric material as Goodyear’s concept BH03 tyre (illustrated) rolls generates a small electric voltage.
article_snippet: ‘This tyre generates electricity through the action of materials in This tyre that capture and transform the energy created by heat when This tyre flexes as This tyre rolls during normal driving conditions,’ explained Goodyear.
article_snippet: ‘The materials used would optimise the tyre's electricity generation capabilities as well as as well rolling resistance.
