"recaputres" energy from petrol that has already been burned getting a car upto a certain speed and what is the purpose of a car if not, after getting up to a speed, to eventually slow down and stop to let the people it is carrying disembark? I for one have never gotten into a car which then doesn't slow down to a stop at some point, converting kinetic energy into thermal energy in it's brake pads.

and speed ramps that don't generate electricity. This is harnessing a little kinetic energy that normally would have just vanished into oblivion.

if it's generated on a downward slope then the energy generated will be as a result of the mass of the car being dragged towards the centre of the earth. The car has already gone up the hill so as it goes down we might as well recoup some of the energy instead of simple wasting it as heat in the brakes of the car.

I listened to it on the CBC. At least I was spared actually *watching* it.

the point is once a car is in motion it has to stop again at some point, instead of wasting the energy that has been put into the vehicle by turning it into heat in the brake pads this /clever/ person has found a way to capture that heat. He's not my father but it's the "crazy" kind of thing that he might come up with. Actually not stupid at all.

technology already exists to recover a large proportion of braking energy- regenerative braking, as used on hybrid cars, and previously electric vehicles such as forklift trucks, now for many years.
The point you are missing is that, execpt for in very certain circumstances, vehicles will accelerate to regain lost speed after passing over the ramps, thereby burning extra fuel to replace the lost momentum.
I do agree with your previous point that the ramps could be useful in situations where traffic is guaranteed to be stopping, or on downhill stretches of road. However, as with many things these days, the problem lies not with the technology, but with its application.
