A company in Portland, OR has been using various mixtures of Flexible Concrete for years and recently taking their mixture and refining it with the use of some NASA Level scientists they have made a flexible concrete, which is 500 times more resistant to cracking, 40% lighter and could help in the bumpy road issues, which destroy equipment and cause dangerous safety issues for traffic. There have been lots of roadway tests and the new flexible concrete has withstood the challenge.
I propose using these space age, technologically advanced, flexible concrete mixtures for circular tight on and off ramps, which will take up the kinetic energy of large trucks and cars, which move into the corner too fast. This will lower the 5,000 truck accidents from over turns per year and save countless car accidents and SUV rollover deaths. As the flexible concrete takes the kinetic energy from the vehicle it will give it back at the end of the turn like riding a wave on a surfboard. As long as we design the material for a certain speed of flex, it will take away the energy as you go into the turn for safety and then give it back to you as you finish the turn. Do you remember playing with hot wheel cars as a kid? Well how would you like to get a little energy back now that you are an adult? After all with fuel prices as high as they are it would be wise indeed to save a little energy, save your brakes and not have to step on that gas pedal so much? We are getting killed at the gas pump; lets take some back.
Who says roads have to be so un-flexible to our needs, we make those roads, let’s make them do what we need? We have a $287 Billion Transportation Bill, which is funding these roads, lets use our best brains and technologies to make it count. Think on that, because I am thinking Corvette, high speed turn and acceleration.
