New Energy Boosts Testing of Device for Generating Electricity from Motion of Cars with Addition of Holiday Inn Express

New Energy Technologies, Inc., a next-generation alternative and renewable energy developer, today announced that the company has expanded testing of its newest MotionPower prototype for generating electricity from the movement of cars and light trucks to include new, active durability field tests of the device at the Holiday Inn Express Baltimore, owned and operated by Baywood Hotels, Inc.

“I’m proud to welcome Baywood Hotels’ Holiday Inn Express Baltimore to our growing roster of high-traffic commercial sites where we are conducting durability tests of our MotionPower device for generating electricity from the motion of cars and trucks,” stated Meetesh V. Patel, president and CEO of the New Energy Technologies, Inc.”Through these important tests, we hope to learn exactly how we can best optimize our MotionPower system for real world applications.”

Engineers have designed and built New Energy’s latest MotionPower prototype as an ultra-low profile, modular device which can be easily customized to varying lengths based on site requirements.Once fully optimized for efficiency, engineers envision New Energy’s MotionPower device for cars and light trucks could be installed at high traffic locations such as toll booths, traffic intersections, rest areas, travel plazas, border crossings, neighborhoods with traffic calming zones, parking sites similar to the tests sites at the Four Seasons Washington and Holiday Inn Express locations, and drive-thrus such as the recently announced Burger King test site in Hillside, NJ, where more than 150,000 cars pass through each year.
