Claims17
An energy storage system for storing energy and releasing energy to one or more secondary devices, wherein the energy storage system comprising:
- a bellows coupled to the one or more secondary devices, wherein said bellows having an outer flexible material casing with one or more functional elements coupled to an energy source whereby the energy is in the form of rotational energy or solar energy or heat energy or vibration energy that activates said one or more functional elements to function as actuators to expand or contact said bellows to store some of the energy from said energy source in said outer flexible material casing;
- wherein said outer flexible material casing further includes one or more additional functional elements that generate electricity when vibrated or moved and wherein said generated electricity is transferred to the one or more secondary devices.
