Roadways power and energy mechanical road

A system for generation of electrical power utilizing mechanical forces produced by vehicles being driven on a surface of a roadway having one or more lanes, comprising:

• a plurality of pistons and cylinders, each of said pistons having a first end and a second end, each said piston being housed in a respective cylinder for rectilinear movement, wherein the pistons and cylinders are installed in the roadway with the first end of each said piston extending above the surface of the roadway by a predetermined distance so that the first end of each said piston is displaced downwardly by tires of vehicles driven on the surface of the roadway;
• means housed in the cylinder of each said piston to apply a force to displace the top of piston upwardly so that the top of the piston extends above the surface of the roadway to the predetermined distance above the surface of the roadway;
• a plurality of hydraulic or pneumatic pistons and cylinders, each of said pistons of said hydraulic or pneumatic pistons and cylinders having a first end and a second end and being housed in a respective cylinder for rectilinear movement, wherein the first end of each of said pistons of the hydraulic or pneumatic pistons and cylinders is connected to the second end of a respective one of said pistons installed in the roadway;
• a plurality of connecting rods, each of said connecting rods having a first end and a second end, wherein the first end of each of said connecting rods is connected to the second end of a respective one of the pistons of the hydraulic or pneumatic pistons and cylinders;
• a crank shaft having a first end and a second end and a plurality of rod journals, wherein the second end of each of the connecting rods is connected to a respective one of the plurality of rod journals;
• a connecting shaft having first and second ends, wherein the first end of the connecting shaft is connected to one of the first and second ends of the crank shaft;
• and
• a generator having a shaft, wherein the shaft of the generator is coupled to the second end of the connecting shaft;
• whereby downward linear mechanical motion of the pistons which extend above the surface of the roadway caused by contact of vehicle tires is converted to rotational motion transferred to the generator to generate electrical power.
