Shock absorber generator

Abstract

A car's shock absorber equipped for a generator produces electrical power and charges a hybrid car's battery, making use of the up-and-down vibration of a running car's shock absorbers. A shock absorber generator equips induction coils inside shock absorber's cylinder cover and permanent magnet rings outside a cylinder piston, so that a shock absorber transfers vibration power to electrical power with inductive action produced between induction coils and magnet rings inside the shock absorber. The vibration width of a shock absorber is between 0.25 inch and 0.5 inch, and the average vibration width is 0.375 inch so that vibration width is narrow, but the power of vibration is high enough to generate electricity, especially for heavy vehicles. With use of that vibration power, a shock absorber generates electricity and stores electric power in a hybrid car battery. As the driving period is prolonged, the shock absorber is able to generate larger amounts of electricity.
