Abstract
A power generating system configured to be placed in a road. The system includes a encasing box that encloses pistons that extend slightly above the encasing box. The pistons are connected to a crank that is connected to an alternator or other power generating device. As cars pass over the pistons, they engage the alternator and generate electricity.
