Abstract
A kinetic energy shock absorber is shown and described. The kinetic energy shock absorber is comprised of a sleeve that has a first closed end and a second opened end. A piston is sized to fit within the sleeve and has at least one dosed end. The closed end of the sleeve has a protrusion attached to the closed end, wherein the protrusion has an aperture located therethrough. The dosed end of the piston has a protrusion, wherein the protrusion has an aperture therein. The piston will create electric energy when it enters the sleeve via an electric generation device. The kinetic energy shock absorber is a device that may be attached to an existing vehicle shock. The kinetic, energy shock absorber may also be used as a replacement shock for a motor vehicle.
