WHEEL BEARING ASSEMBLY FOR GENERATION OF ELECTRICITY

摘要

A wheel assembly is provided that includes a first bearing and a second bearing that is axially aligned with the first bearing to form a hub for an axle. The first bearing includes: an outer race having an inner surface with respect to the axial alignment of the first bearing and the second bearing and an inner race having a portion axially extending beyond the inner surface of the outer race to at least partially define the hub. The wheel assembly further includes a magnetic unit securely coupled with the portion of the inner race axially extending beyond the inner surface of the outer race; and a wheel coupled with the respective outer race of the first bearing, the wheel having one or more wire coils that are configured to generate electricity with the magnetic unit when the wheel spins.
