Kinetic Energy Management System

摘要

A vehicle kinetic energy management system includes a first main body having a passive magnetic component movable therewith and a second main body movably attached to the first main body for reciprocal movement there between. The second main body includes an active magnetic component movable therewith and magnetically communicating with the passive magnetic component. One of the first and second main bodies being adapted for engagement with a vehicular component that experiences irregularities of a surface on which the vehicle travels, and the other main body engaging a load-bearing portion of the vehicle for which isolation from vibrations is desired. Interaction of the active and passive magnetic components in response to relative movement of the first and second main bodies translates between reciprocating kinetic energy associated with the vehicle motion over the surface irregularities and electrical energy associated with the active magnetic component.

1. A vehicular kinetic energy management system comprising:
a first main body having a passive magnetic component movable therewith; a second main body movably attached to the first main body for reciprocal movement there between, the second main body having an active magnetic component movable therewith and positioned such as to magnetically communicate with the passive magnetic component; one of the first and second main bodies being adapted for engagement with a vehicular component that experiences irregularities of a surface on which a vehicle travels; and the other of said first and second main bodies being adapted for engagement with a load bearing portion of the vehicle for which isolation from vibrations due to irregularities of the surface on which the vehicle travels is desired, such that interaction of the active and passive magnetic component in response to relative movement of the first and second main bodies translates between reciprocating kinetic energy associated with motion of the vehicle over the irregularities of the surface and electrical energy associated with the active magnetic component.
