I’ve been thinking about this for a few days now (weeks, maybe? Time flows strangely for me these days.) and I think it’s a really good idea, and feasible.
I’ve formulated a method of paving that lends to easy care, service, placement, re-placement, permenance as well as easy removability. This system combines pressure and velocity systems to interact with streetlights, etc., can record the exact events of a crash, and so on and so forth.
Where do I start? I can make tons of cash off this.
If you want more information about the exact details of the system, please mail me. I’m hesistant to post it publicly.
Well, I can tell you how Peter the Great solved the problem in St. Petersburg approximately 80 years before George Washington. St. Petersburg at the time was basically a bog, and every time they got a significant amount of rain, the streets would turn into a soggy morass.
So what they would do is every spring, they would lay boards down on the streets to make it passable for people, horses, and whatever else needed to be trucked down the street. Over the course of the summer, fall, and winter, the boards would slowly get pushed beneath the mud again due to the weight of people walking on it. So each spring they would lay fresh boards. I saw a picture in one of my Russian history books of an archaeological expedition that uncovered several layers of these lattices in the streets. Very interesting.
To the OP: First I would patent your idea, and then talk to a state highway department, perhaps. I think you have a tough row to hoe, as it were, but good luck.
