Force stand for electrical energy producing platform

Abstract

A force stand for an energy platform system which is operative to generate electrical energy from the weight of a moving vehicle. The force stand comprises a vertical beam and an electricity producing stage moveably attached thereto. The translation of the stage on the beam is operative to produce electrical energy. The force stand further comprises a drive assembly mechanically coupled to the stage and the energy platform. The drive assembly is configured to translate the stage upwardly on the beam as the vehicle moves over the energy platform system and translate the stage downwardly when the vehicle is not moving over the energy platform system. In this respect, the stage produces electricity as it is moved both upwardly and downwardly on the vertical beam in order to produce a constant flow of electricity. In the preferred embodiment, the drive assembly may be either a hydraulic cylinder or a scissor lift operative to translate the stage upwardly. The stage is translated downwardly by the weight of stage.
