The portable device is a power station that transmits road trrafic to renewable energy.
According to him, the pressure from the road traffic powers turbine that generate electricity. Writing on chivas.com, he explained that the device neither uses any raw material nor emmits greenhouse gases making it environmental friendly.
The young innovator is in need of funds to help him deliver renewable electricity at an affordable price and contribute to South Africa's economic growth and Africa at large.
Clement said he got his idea of building a VEHS from a plane landing:
In 2011, I saw an Airbus A380 land and it got me thinking about the pressure and heat a plane puts on the runway.
I looked at our roads and the many potholes (which is a clear indication of how much pressure they’re under) and discovered a link to energy. From there, it was just down to finding ways to harvest that pressure to generate electricity.
