Generator system utilizing weights of recurrent static loads

A system configured to generate power from supporting a load, the system comprising:

• a lower support that is stationary and an upper support movable in an upward and a downward direction;
• at least two folding supports, a first folding support and a second folding support positioned on opposite ends of the system between the upper support and the lower support;
• a gear rack assembly positioned at a midpoint of the system between the first folding support and the second folding support, the gear rack assembly including an upper gear rack connected to the first folding support, a lower gear rack connected to the second folding support, and a gear for engaging the upper gear rack and the lower gear rack;
• and
• a generator assembly including a shaft rotatable with the gear, the shaft connected to a dynamo for converting rotational movement of the shaft to electrical power
• wherein, when the load is added to the upper support, a weight of the load lowers the upper support such that the folding supports expand in a horizontal direction and push the upper gear rack and the lower gear rack, rotating the gear and the shaft, such that the rotational movement of the shaft is transferred to the dynamo for electrical power generation.

A method of generating power, comprising:

• positioning a load on an upper support of a system, the upper support configured to move in a downward direction under weight of the load;
• compressing a plurality of folding supports, the plurality of folding supports positioned between the upper support and a lower support;
• pushing a pair of gear racks attached to the plurality of folding supports in a horizontal direction;
• rotating a gear engaged with the pair of gear racks;
• rotating a shaft engaged with the gear;
• the shaft connected to a dynamo;
• and
• converting rotational movement of the shaft into electrical power at the dynamo.
