Electricity generating suspension system for hybrid and electric automobiles

摘要

The invention relates to vehicles for transporting persons and/or goods, which vehicles travel on roads or alternatively on rails and at least partially use electrical energy using electric motors as drive units, wherein the electrical energy used is predominantly or substantially produced within the vehicle by converting kinetic energy, in particular components of the kinetic energy that are caused on the vehicle bodywork as gravitation effects and components of the kinetic energy from curve centrifugal forces and acceleration motions of the vehicle body, the vertical dynamic acceleration motions of the wheels and wheel suspensions, and other components, wherein the electrical energy generated in such away is temporarily stored in chemical energy stores (batteries) and/or other suitable storage media, for example, high-power capacitors or flywheel stores, until the electricity is used in the vehicle drive motors and/or other loads.

1. A vehicle for transporting persons and/or goods, which vehicle alternatively moves on water, on the ground or in the air and at least partially uses electrical energy and electric motors as a drive medium,
wherein the electrical energy used is produced mainly or for a substantial part within the vehicle from the conversion of solar radiation and kinetic energy during braking, from the headwind, and from components of the kinetic energy of gravitational effects on the vehicle body, wheels and wheel suspensions and components of the kinetic energy of centrifugal forces and positive or negative vertical acceleration movements of the vehicle body (3), vehicle wheels (1) and wheel suspensions (4), with subsequent temporary storage of the electricity generated in this manner in batteries or other suitable storage media, for example high-capacity capacitors, until use of the electricity in the drive motors of the vehicle or other electricity consumers, wherein the suspension and damping element (2) is connected at the lower end to the wheel suspension (4) by means of a joint (4a) and is connected at the upper end to the upper part of the body (3) by means of the strut suspension (3a), and an electricity-generating linear generator (7) is situated in the interior, which consists of the stator (8), the piston rod (6.1/6.2) situated in the central axis and the actuator (11) mounted thereon, and wherein the piston rod (6.1/6.2) bears the pressure piston 1 (KO.1) at one end and the pressure piston 2 (KO.2) at the other end, wherein the pressure pistons 1 and 2 (KO.1/KO.2) are part of the hydraulic spring and damper element (5) in the pressure cylinders 1 (DZ.1) and 2 (DZ.2).
