Land vehicle wheel mounted electricity generator

A land vehicle wheel mounted electricity generator comprising:

• a non-rotating axle secured to the land vehicle;
• a wheel rotatably mounted to the axle and rotatable about an axle longitudinal axis;
• inboard and outboard magnets secured to the wheel and rotatable therewith about the axle longitudinal axis, said inboard and outboard magnets defining a magnetic field space therebetween;
• and,
• one or more electrically conductive spokes secured to and extending radially from the non-rotating axle in the magnetic field space;
• wherein the one or more electrically conductive spokes are electrically connected between an electrically conductive outer perimeter ring and an electrically conductive inner hub;
• and,
• wherein as the inboard and outboard magnets rotate about the axle longitudinal axis and past the one or more spokes, electric current is induced in the one or more spokes.

A method of generating electric current using a land vehicle wheel mounted electricity generator comprising:

• a non-rotating axle secured to the land vehicle;
• a wheel rotatably mounted to the axle and rotatable about an axle longitudinal axis;
• inboard and outboard magnets secured to the wheel and rotatable therewith about the axle longitudinal axis, said inboard and outboard magnets defining a magnetic field space therebetween;
• and,
• one or more electrically conductive spokes secured to and extending radially from the non-rotating axle in the magnetic field space;
• wherein the one or more electrically conductive spokes are electrically connected between an electrically conductive outer perimeter ring and an electrically conductive inner hub;
• the method comprising the steps of:
• rotating the wheel and the inboard and outboard magnets secured thereto about the axle longitudinal axis;
• wherein as the inboard and outboard magnets rotate about the axle longitudinal axis and past the one or more conductors, electric current is induced in the one or more spokes.
