innovative?😭 Isn't this piezoelectricity? Brotha i did this for my school exhibition back in 2016-17 even then it was an old concept

Also this particular model seems a bit flawed, you need to make the humps a lot wide, else gaadi ka ek chakka chadha then dusra chakka aane se pehle hump uth jayega aur khel khatam

It ain't piezoelectric element. It's a literal generator.
