The University of Illinois at Chicago Mechanical and Industrial Engineering Department has entered into an agreement with New Energy Innovations, Inc., to enhance the new traffic powered sustainable source of clean energy at intersections, municipalities, airport entrances, toll booths, as well as entrance and exit ramps nationwide.
Ralph A. Black, creator and inventor of the patented Traffic Powered Renewable Energy System (TPRES™) Patent # 8,754,539, along with Chief Technical Officer and co-inventor, Asad Ali, have worked closely together on the design and effectiveness of this renewable energy system. The University of Illinois at Chicago Senior Mechanical Engineering and Design Team will be working on optimizing the best mechanical system.
"The UIC Senior Mechanical and Industrial Engineering Design Teams were the missing link we have been looking for to continue this project and help finalize the best amount of energy production with our unit. This provides us with the blueprint for optimum use of products in our final assembly. It is our desire to get the best energy production possible. We are confident that the UIC Senior Mechanical and Industrial Engineering Design Teams will fulfill that need," says Black.
"We remain interested and supportive of New Energy Innovations' unique clean renewable energy technology. The Village of Elmwood Park is committed to energy conservation and sustainable renewable energy. Many initiatives are underway in our community and the Traffic Powered Renewable Energy System shows the potential to be a viable contribution to these initiatives," says Angelo "Skip" Saviano, President of the Village in Elmwood Park, IL.
