Goodyear has unveiled a prototype car tyres, which produces electricity

At the Geneva motor show is a famous manufacturer of tires for cars Goodyear has demonstrated an intriguing concept tire that can charge the battery of the electric vehicle during the drive.

As you know, one of the biggest problems for the owner of the electric vehicle is the so-called "range anxiety", in other words, the limited capacity of the battery. Model BH03 tyres developed by Goodyear as time solves this problem as it will contribute to extending the range of electric vehicle mileage almost indefinitely.





The basic principle of the "work" tires BH03 is to convert the heat generated by deformation and friction of the tyre on the road surface, into electrical energy, which is then used to charge the battery of the electric vehicle.





While the manufacturer provides vague information about the structure of the new tyre, saying only that it consists of layers of thermo-piezoelectric materials, which interact with each other in a certain way. In addition, bus BH03 equipped with ultra-black textured sections, which are able to absorb heat and sunlight. It is expected that sunlight will heat up the tires on parked electric car, thereby increasing the amount of heat that can be converted into electrical energy.





Goodyear also presented a second model of tyres with three pipes under the protector. Internal pump that regulates the pressure of air in the chamber of the tire depending on road conditions.

It is worth noting that bus and BH03, and the bus with three pipes are yet concepts presented on the display of the stand of Goodyear at the Geneva motor show. You may recall that last year the manufacturer made a splash with the concept tyre for SUV, consisting of two rims, each of which have their air chambers. The outer rim is designed for use on asphalt, while the inner rim with an aggressive tread designed for off-road driving.

According to the company, all of these prototype tires in the near future will not appear on the market, but they give us an idea of future high-tech tires.published
