Let me not start about neck injuries, my dude. Car rotates fast, seat and seatbelt rotates you, you rotate, your neck does not keep up with the rotation, SNAP
yeah just very bad video most of these dont work or just have very huge negatives like the one that absorbs water can never be used anywhere where the road can freeze on top of the cost and lest not start with the solar roadways
@@blackbox5298 theres coating on top of it like they said in the video i atleast hope its close to the asphalts friction but its still very bad idea you can watch thunderf00ts video about it or someone elses or just use common sense
you gotta understand. roads are such a wasted area of real estate. they cover huge percentages of cities and they all (mostly all) are gorvernance owned. imagine if you could utilize them for more than just transit. provided you bring down the costs, panels could generate so much free energy.
a lot of these systems fail as soon as you start to deal with issues that appear after the temperature drops below freezing. I wonder how those 1st water absorbing pavers fair when the water freezes and expands.
To be honest these speed bumps might be the answer for our village . There are just 8 houses and the road coming in goes round an 80 * left bend, and off to the right is the road coming down from the moors where they are supposed to stop and give way . It’s like a boy racer and bikers dream . We get a lot of traffic from weekend visitors as it’s a historical area with two Saxon barns and famous Japanese gardens on the hill behind ,that are about 500 yards before you get to us . We have had the speed limit put to 20mph ,as just round that blind bend is a primary school and one day it’s going to happen . There are too many crashes at the crossroads every year . The compromise is that we can only have speed bumps if we have street lighting installed . We have got lamps around the corner outside the school but really don’t want it in the village . Now if these were illuminated we might have a chance . As far as a snow plough ... we seem to be on the boarder of two councils . We are just in that wee imaginary gap they have between the two and more often than not it’s just the salt spreader if they remember us . Next Parish council meeting , in between the village green planters and getting Jane from the chapel cafe to take down her gaudy advertising banners off the chapel wall , I can see my proposal going down a storm 😂🤣😂🤣
Leave it to government to build a solar panel road in a region that only gets 50 sunny days a year and is surrounded by trees. That's why we cant have nice things.
@@CR3W1SH03S after a 2 year investigation the govt concluded failure was a result of not enough money or commitment and will be expanding the budget over the next 10 years;)
@@CR3W1SH03S it's not just governments, I worked for Scotts Miracle-Gro years ago and I cannot tell you how many people and companies spend hundreds or even thousands of dollars a year trying to make grass grow under trees that are just too dense. Or people that have fruit trees and then use insecticides, and can't figure out why their trees aren't bearing fruit. I blame the public school system, people are completely discouraged from open-mindedness and free thought nowadays, instead they are taught to keep their intellect inside of a little box.
@@macros208 theyre said to have a propietary lock system, but yeah, we dont need new speed bump innovations, just copy what the dutch did and ffs do never copy what the germans did with their gel inflated speed bumps
@@DarkIzo If you put an image in the gap ,what was it . And , what was the thing with the German speed bumps ? I’m interested that they are illuminated and want to know by how much so we don’t have to get street lamps in our tiny village which seems to be a section of a rally track .
Am I missing something? Heated roads have been around a long time. In my town the return heat to the central heating plant is used to keep pedestrian roads free of snow. On a smaller scale many buildings use electrically heated steps to prevent accidents. In southern Sweden there is a notorious hill that got one heated lane to prevent trucks from getting stuck and blocking traffic.
lol yeah .. lot of useless and debunked items here ... solar roadways and the first ones "pavers" .. um .. sorry dude ... they "retain" water .. don't you know that the major cause of potholes is water getting under the surface and then freezes and creates potholes ... water expands when frozen .. so if these things retain water then they will break apart just like anything else
For the roller rail guard: Except it can raise the chances of oncoming cars being hit by your now ricocheting vehicle. And if you're moving downhill, there could be a huge pile up and greater number of deaths (expecially if your vehicle is a semi or some other large vehicle). It's basically "Which is more important: The lives of the few or the lives of the many?"
It has been tried, but they clog too over time. Just like any filter would. Separate infiltration pits are more effective, easier to maintain and work with every desired surface. Bigger ones separate debris and oil using gravity only.
In the UK they don't maintain the roads. The potholes keep the cars slow. The councils don't want free-flowing traffic - they deliberately do things to jam it up, like putting bus and cycle lanes on roads that have no buses or cyclists, just to annoy other road users.
The heated road idea... I had this 20 years back.. I even thought of having it under airport runways too all having a sensor system to only turn it on when needed and having solar and wind nearby to power them to save on power use? Also runways having pipes either side of their length underground that have a sensor that detects a plane on fire in a crash and auto sprays foam based water onto just the area where it is, so to help stop planes burning the people in them until the fire trucks get there? Yes I know I should have patented them, but that's easy if you got thousands to pay for the patent at the time?
Great video. Just a minor correction: Yes, FLIR is an abbreviation for Forward Looking infrared. But the company name is read as is, “fleer”. Don’t read it per letter. FLIR makes great industrial cameras and software that runs them. They are especially known for their thermal cameras.
Permeable pavers were used as a trial 9 years ago in a car park. The problem is that its subbase requires to be readily permeable in order to infiltrate water away. With insufficient compaction on its subbase, the trial found many pavers have subsided after few years.
If those pavers don't recharge the water back into the ground, that means they are just made to hide puddles. They shouldn't be considered permeable pavers.
1.the permeable pavement gets blocked by sand and silt in run off within a week 2. heated roads oh hello black ice 3.solar panel roads are already a proven failure they degrade rapidly threw wear and tear and are so expensive to install and maintain its useless 4.the roller barrier simply pushes the vehicle that hits it into incoming traffic. hence instead of 1 vehicle in an accident u potentially have 2 or more vehicles involved
My school has the seton bumps(4 of them) in a row and it’s the most annoying thing. Every bump you jump about a foot no matter the car. Really uncomfortable. And no one has ever sped up there.
The heated road idea isn't really viable unfortunately. It takes a massive amount of energy to heat snow to the point it melts, costing alot of money. Local government is unlikely to want to take on that massive expense when normal road clearing is so much cheaper.
The roller is honestly not safe. It adds to the motion of the car which is the reason why it's on an accident. I've seen rubber barriers do better with same concept like those on sea ports. Rubber also absorbs impact. The roller will only push the vehicle somewhere else and if it's a busy highway, can cause more damage to other vehicles
Ya, because people know "NOT" to speed down sections where they should not. we should change all speed bumps into rocket launcher to blow up cars that speed thru.
@@skeptic4891 but that would kill People... maybe a Speed bump that if u go too fast the Spikes Pop up and Puncture tires, that way people WILL slow down in order NOT TO BUY a new pair of TIRES
Speed bumps are a good idea but they don't slow heavy trucks down half as much as cars. I have seen semi-truck 18-wheeler combinations roll right over the top of the speed bump at speeds faster than the speed bump was designed to handle and the effect is what you'd expect: The vehicle travels in a straight line and the tires on the vehicle absorb most of the uplifting energy generated from rolling over the bump. And these are compacted asphalt speed bumps, not these plastic bumps featured in this video.
Young people: We have to change our lifestyle to save the earth! Old people: We don't care, we want to heat our street with electricity! Young people: But there is no more snow due to the climate change you caused. Why are you heating streets? Old people: Because we can!
Heated roads...this is something that's been around for decades, not something new, heck i even had it at my old place. Steep hill entrance that had to be dry, otherwise it would be impossible to get a car out. The reason it's not installed everywhere, is because it's much more cost effective to move the snow to the side instead of melting it.
@@cmontes85 yes that is a proven problem with the solution. There is a need for regular maintenance to essentially vacuum the surface. The benefit of rainwater storage capacity can also be met through other means. Using a permeable base course beneath the tiles will allow a similar storage capacity. This can then be drained into an infiltrating raingarden (in the context of squares, parking lots, drive ways and similar spaces).
