Electrical energy producing platform and method of use

An energy platform system for generating electrical energy from the weight of a moving vehicle, comprising:

• at least one rigid beam depressible by the weight of a moving vehicle driven thereover;
• at least one deformable bladder which contains a volume of hydraulic fluid and is cooperatively engaged to the rigid beam, the bladder being compressible by the depression of the beam when a moving vehicle is driven thereover to thereby force the hydraulic fluid within the bladder;
• a circulation assembly in fluid communication with the bladder for receiving the hydraulic fluid forced from within the bladder and feeding the hydraulic fluid back into the bladder, the circulation assembly being operable to translate the energy of the hydraulic fluid circulated therethrough into mechanical energy;
• and
• a generator cooperatively engaged to the circulation assembly and operable to convert the mechanical energy produced by the circulation assembly into electrical energy.

An energy platform system to generate electrical energy from the weight of a moving vehicle, comprising:

• a platform which is downwardly movable from the weight of a moving vehicle driven thereover;
• a lever arm mechanically coupled to the platform and pivotally movable by the downward movement of the platform;
• a hydraulic cylinder which contains a volume of hydraulic fluid and is mechanically coupled to the lever arm such that the hydraulic fluid is forced from within the cylinder by the pivotal movement of the lever arm;
• a circulation assembly in fluid communication with the cylinder for receiving the hydraulic fluid forced from within the cylinder, the circulation assembly being operable to translate the energy of the hydraulic fluid circulated therethrough into mechanical energy;
• and
• a generator cooperatively engaged to the circulation assembly and operable to convert the mechanical energy produced by the circulation assembly into electrical energy.

An energy platform system to generate electrical energy from a train comprising:

• at least one deformable bladder disposed near a rail of a railroad track and containing a volume of hydraulic fluid, the bladder being compressible by a wheel of the train to thereby force the hydraulic fluid therefrom;
• a circulation assembly in fluid communication with the bladder for receiving the hydraulic fluid forced from within the bladder and feeding the hydraulic fluid back into the bladder, the circulation assembly being operable to translate the energy of the hydraulic fluid circulated therethrough into mechanical energy;
• and
• a generator cooperatively engaged to the circulation assembly and operable to convert the mechanical energy produced by the circulation assembly into electrical energy.

A method of generating electrical energy from a moving vehicle comprising the steps of:

• a) driving the vehicle over a deformable bladder containing a volume of hydraulic fluid so as to compress the bladder and force the hydraulic fluid therefrom;
• b) translating the energy of the hydraulic fluid forced from within the bladder into mechanical energy;
• and
• c) converting the mechanical energy into electrical energy.
