1. An energy harvesting roadway comprising:
an energy conversion device disposed lengthwise along a direction of vehicle travel along the energy harvesting roadway; a deformable surface disposed between the energy conversion device and the one or more wheels of a passing vehicle, wherein the deformable surface is one of longitudinally flexible and transversely stiff, the deformable surface having a longitudinal length in the direction of vehicle travel and a transverse width in a direction transverse to the direction of vehicle travel and substantially in a plane of the energy harvesting roadway; and one or more members interposing the deformable surface and the energy conversion device, the one or more members having a member transverse width in the direction of vehicle travel and a member longitudinal length in the direction transverse to the direction of vehicle travel, wherein the one or more members transmit one of a force and a displacement between the deformable surface and the energy conversion device, wherein the energy conversion device includes at least one of:
one or more compressible hoses, the one or more compressible hoses having a hose length in the direction of vehicle travel and a hose width in the direction transverse to the direction of vehicle travel; andone or more transducers, the one or more transducers having a transducer length in the direction of vehicle travel and a transducer width in the direction transverse to the direction of vehicle travel, wherein the transducers include at least one of:
a piezoelectric transducer; anda capacitive transducer. |
