Hughes Research has developed this interesting idea: a ramp for cars that converts some of the car movement energy in electrical energy. Basically when a car pass over the ramp, the ramp get pressed, activating an alternator that charge an accumulator.

I don’t think is a revolutionary concept, as no new energy is produced, but in essence can be a powerful way to tax the car drivers of some energetical value.
