KINETIC ENERGY COLLECTOR MECHANISM TO GENERATE ELECTRIC POWER FROM PASSING VEHICLES, USING A MAIN AXLE CONNECTED TO A FLYWHEEL

摘要

A kinetic energy collector mechanism for generating electric power from passing vehicles, using a main axle connected to a flywheel, wherein the main axle is supported on two bearings and/or rollers, said main axle having a half-cylindrical support section for the vehicle wheels, and having attached on each end at least one flywheel that is mounted so as to transmit load in only one direction while it can rotate freely in the opposite direction, said main axle rotating in an angle ranging between 0° and 120°, preferably 45°, equivalent to 1/8th of a turn as the vehicle wheels pass over the half-cylindrical section of the main axle, thus driving the attached flywheel; wherein the main axle is returned to its original resting position by means of springs, then reapeating the rotational motion every time the main axle is driven by passing vehicle wheels; and wherein, the flywheel has enough driving force to rotate and drive a generator and its corresponding regulator by mechanical means that transmit the load to said generator with its corresponding regulator, which in turn generates electric power that is either delivered to a power network or charged in batteries.

1. A kinetic energy collector mechanism for generating electric power from passing vehicles, comprising a main axle (3) connected to a flywheel (4) characterized in that the main axle (3) is supported on two bearings and/or rollers (2), said main axle having a half-cylindrical support section (1) for the vehicle wheels (6), and having at least one flywheel attached to each end (4) of the axle, which are mounted so as to transmit load in only one direction and to rotate freely in the opposite direction, said main axle rotating in an angle ranging between 0° and 120°, preferably 45°, equivalent to ⅛th of a turn as the vehicle wheels pass over the half-cylindrical section of the main axle (3) thus driving the attached flywheel (4).
wherein, the main axle (3) is returned to its original resting position by means of springs (7), then reapeating the rotational motion every time the main axle is driven by passing vehicle wheels, and wherein, the flywheel has enough driving force to turn and drive a generator with its corresponding regulator (10) by mechanical means transmitting the load to said generator and its corresponding regulator (10), which in turn generates electric power that is either delivered to a power network or charged in batteries.
