Abstract
The invention relates to a device for generating electric energy from the kinetic energy of vehicles. Said device comprises at least one pressure reservoir (13) for a fluid. Said pressure reservoir is arranged in the pavement and has at least one pressure chamber that is compressible in a substantially rectangular direction to the pavement, at least one circuit for the fluid, a component of the fluid circuit representing the pressure chamber, and at least one turbine/generator system (86) arranged in the fluid circuit for generating electric energy from the flow of the fluid.
Claims10
A device for generating electrical energy from kinetic energy of wheeled vehicles on a roadway, comprising
- at least one fluid pressure vessel arranged in the roadway, said pressure vessel comprising at least one pressure chamber that is compressible substantially perpendicular to the roadway,
- a flexible cover sheet over the pressure vessel for transmitting force from the wheels of vehicles on the roadway to the pressure chamber, the cover sheet having a non-slip surface,
- at least one circuit for said fluid, said pressure chamber being a component of said fluid circuit, and
- at least one turbine/generator unit that is disposed in the fluid circuit for generating electrical energy from the flow of the fluid,
- wherein said pressure vessel is configured as a chest that is elongated in the roadway direction and in the front and rear sides of which fluid circuit pipes are ported,
- wherein elongated pressure chambers are formed in said pressure vessel by partitions, said pressure chambers permitting fluid flow substantially only parallel to the longitudinal direction of said pressure vessel,
- and wherein the diameter of the pressure chambers is diminished from the front side to the rear side of said pressure vessel.
