Abstract
An on-road energy conversion and vibration absorber apparatus receives the kinetic energy from moving vehicles and pedestrians when being weighed down, and converts the received kinetic energy into a potential energy using a restorable elastic element compressing a fluid thereby storing the potential energy in a pressure chamber, and then conducting the pressurized fluid to pass though a check valve along a conduit and drive a vane wheel by releasing its potential energy. The vane wheel in turn drives a generator to generate electric energy, and the vibration of the vehicles is alleviated by cushion effect provided by the apparatus.
Claims15
An energy generating system, comprising:
- at least one object holder, wherein the object holder comprises at least one pressure-transferring device, wherein the pressure-transferring device at least comprises a fluid tube, an outlet non-return valve, and an inlet non-return valve, wherein the outlet non-return valve and inlet non-return valve are disposed in the fluid tube;
- at least one energy transformer, wherein the energy transformer comprises a fluid machinery, an electrical power generator, and a mechanism, wherein the fluid machinery transfers energy to the electrical power generator through the mechanism, wherein the fluid machinery comprises a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet;
- at least one fluid storage;
- at least one power converter electrically connected to the electrical power generator;
- at least one first pipeline connected to the fluid tube of the pressure-transferring device and connected to the fluid inlet of the fluid machinery;
- at least one second pipeline connected to the fluid outlet of the fluid machinery and connected to the fluid storage;
- and
- at least one third pipeline connected to the fluid storage and connected to the fluid tube of the pressure-transferring device.
