The university I worked for, before heading to Singapore, (AUT University) has developed a PowerTread system, in which "tubes that are compressed by vehicles and pump hydraulic fluid to turn a turbine and generate electricity".
Powertread has already been successfully trialled on the Causeway providing lighting for one of the border booths for a couple of days.
The Singapore government is getting behind the product's further development and commercialization and one of the country's malls is going to be the next test bed..
They might have been best to put a unit on the road leading to the Integrated Resorts as the volume of gamblers making their way to Marina Bay Sands and Sentosa would give Powertread a real work out.
