Abstract
In an embodiment, a personal mobility device is disclosed. The personal mobility device includes a wheel, a support structure coupled to the wheel, a load component and a generator device coupled to the support structure. The generator device is configured to frictionally engage against the wheel such that a rotation of the wheel causes the generator device to generate electrical energy. The personal mobility device is configured to power the load component based at least in part on the generated electrical energy.
Claims27
A personal mobility device comprising:
- a wheel;
- a support structure coupled to the wheel, the support structure comprising a housing defining a cavity therein;
- a load component;
- and
- a generator device coupled to the support structure, wherein the cavity comprises at least one channel and the generator device comprises at least one flange, the at least one channel being configured to slidingly receive the at least one flange of the generator device, the generator device being configured to frictionally engage against the wheel such that a rotation of the wheel causes the generator device to generate electrical energy, the personal mobility device being configured to power the load component based at least in part on the generated electrical energy.
