Vertical axis traffic flow energy harvesting system

Vertical axis wind turbine roadway energy harvesting and traffic regulation system, comprising:

• a vertical axis wind turbine configured to generate an electric current and charge a storage battery of a power transmission unit;
• wherein the power transmission unit is embedded in a roadway and operatively connected to the wind turbine to receive the electrical current and store the the electrical current in the storage battery of the power transmission unit, the power transmission unit including a power transmitter configured to transmit a directional wireless power beam to a vehicle on the roadway using the stored electrical current from the storage battery, wherein the vertical axis wind turbine is proximal to the roadway and wherein the vertical axis wind turbine is configured to generate the electricity by rotating in air wakes of traffic flow on the roadway;
• at least one detector configured to track and measure the movement of the vehicle;
• a control system operatively connected to the at least one detector and the power transmission unit, wherein the control system has circuitry configured to:
• determine whether the vehicle is in compliance with at least one traffic regulation based on the measurement of the at least one detector;
• and
• actuate the power transmitter to transmit a directional wireless power beam to the vehicle based on the vehicle being in compliance with the at least one traffic regulation.
