Over the years, Scott and Julie Brusaw have been working on solar roads and they plan to use solar panels to create a road. Now they are ready to begin their first trial: a 3.6 x 11 meter car park in northern Idaho. With funding from the U.S. Federal Road Administration funded by $750,000, the device will be installed and will be a key step in verifying its feasibility. Scott Brusaw said: “We will invite the heads of companies to visit and they will see all the features, how the energy directly enters our electronic lab and how to power the building.â€
Researchers plan to use solar panels to create a multi-purpose solar road.
Solar road structure diagram.
This road is composed of three parts: a wear-resistant translucent top layer containing solar cells, LED lights (for road marking) and heating elements (for handling snow and ice); electronic layers for controlling lighting and communications; and dispersing energy to The ground floor of nearby residents and businesses (such as electric vehicle charging stations). In addition, there is a channel at the edge of the road for collecting and filtering the flowing water. Brusaw said that the solar panels on the ground may generate less energy than on the roof because the ground cannot be adjusted to the right angle to the sun. But the key is that the floor space is much larger than the roof, and the installation of solar panels below is easier than installing on the roof. But he did not calculate how expensive the solar panel road was compared to the asphalt road. He just guessed that the cost might be three times higher.
Perhaps the most attractive aspect of the solar road is that these panels can eventually recoup the cost, and the energy generated has a variety of uses, such as providing energy for lighting and rest areas. It is also possible to power an electric vehicle charging station and even charge it as it travels along the road. However, first of all Brusaws needed to confirm that the parking lot was valid and began manufacturing their first commercial panel. If they are going well, we will see the first solar roads and car parks in the cold and distant places. And an expressway that can clean up ice and snow is very attractive in winter.

Rivets
Rivets are a permanent mechanical fastener. Before being installed a rivet consists of a smooth cylindrical shaft with a head on one end. The end opposite the head is called the buck-tail. On installation the rivet is placed in a punched or drilled hole, and the tail is upset, or bucked (i.e., deformed), so that it expands to about 1.5 times the original shaft diameter, holding the rivet in place.Rivets Categories:
About Rivets,it is also belong to connecting and fastening,
Normally it can be divided into several categories:Solid Rivets,Rivet Nuts,Blind Rivets and so on.
And our Non-standard Rivets can be produce according to drawings and samples.
