Abstract
The system is intended to extract energy from a vehicle that is otherwise wasted. As an example and not limiting, the generator and linkage as described can be employed with the rotation of a vehicle wheel to capture energy lost during vehicle braking with the generator functioning to convert vehicle momentum to electric power by putting a load on the wheels of the vehicle which effectively brakes the vehicle while driving the generator, which electricity from the generator likewise is stored in batteries.
Claims6
An energy generating system comprising, a generator attached to a vehicle, a shaft attached to said generator, a means for transferring rotational energy from a wheel of said vehicle to the shaft.
An energy generation system comprising, a commonly known vehicle having a vehicle wheel, a wheel axle plate on the outboard side of the vehicle wheel, a vehicle wheel pulley on the inboard side of said wheel, a wheel anchor rod attached to the wheel axle plate and the vehicle wheel pulley, the wheel anchor rods have a first end and a second end, these ends are attached to a wheel axle plate outer ring and a wheel pulley attachment ring using a means for fastening,
- a generator pulley groove in a generator pulley which is capable of receiving a commonly known pulley belt, and transfers rotation from the vehicle wheel pulley to a generator shaft sleeve,
- the generator pulley is attached to a second end generator shaft sleeve, a first end of the generator shaft sleeve 6 is permanently attached to a crank shaft plate,
- a generator shaft gear plate slidably moves along a generator shaft, an engagement nodule on the crank shaft plate placed to interfere with a generator shaft gear plate nodule,
- a splined generator shaft passes within a generating shaft gear plate aperture and the generator shaft is engaged by means of splines within a generator shaft gear plate housing, a gearing means within the gear plate housing increases or decreases relative rotational velocity between the generator shaft gear plate and the generator shaft,
- a generator is attached by a means for attaching to a first end of the generator shaft,
- said generator is attached to the vehicle by means of a first mounting bracket and a second mounting bracket, fixed to the vehicle frame to prevent movement of the generator under normal operating load, said mounting brackets have strong springs that allow movement of the generator in response to input forces from upward and downward movement of the wheel.
