Wheel generator having a coupling system

A converter for obtaining electrical energy in a rolling wheel of a vehicle from the deformation of the wheel tyre due to contact with the road surface, comprising

• a) at least four lever elements, which at their first end are rotatably housed, and at their second end are configured to come into contact with the inside of a wheel tyre via at least one contact element such that a deformation of the wheel tyre due to contact with the road surface causes a rotational movement of the lever element,
• b) a mechanical coupling element system which is suitable for transferring the force occurring due to the rotational movement of the lever elements and
• c) at least one electrical generator configured to convert the force transferred by the mechanical coupling element system into electrical energy, characterized in that
• the lever elements are each pivotally mounted at their first end by means of a shaft and the shaft is configured to transmit the force of the rotational movement,
• the mechanical coupling element system per shaft of each lever element has at least two coupling elements, which are each arranged to transmit the force of the rotational movement to the shaft of the adjacent lever element or to an intermediate shaft, and
• at least one planetary gear system is present, which is arranged to transmit the rotational movement of a shaft of a lever element or an intermediate shaft to an electrical generator.
