INTERNAL TIRE WINDMILL ENERGY HARVESTER

摘要

Electrical system may be configured to operate inside a tire mounted to a wheel. Electrical system may include a plurality of microelectromechanical system (MEMS) devices including a gas flow energy receiver mechanically coupled to at least one base. Each gas flow energy receiver may be operatively coupled to at least one generator. Generator may be configured to convert gas flow energy to electrical energy. Generator may be configured to direct the electrical energy to an electrical output. The electrical system may include a support feature. The support feature may be configured to mount the at least one base of the plurality of MEMS devices to one or more of an inner surface of the tire or an inner surface of the wheel. The plurality of MEMS devices may be mounted effective to place the gas flow energy receivers in a gas flow space of the tire mounted to the wheel.
