Structurally integrated electric/heat generating energy recovery (SIEGER)

摘要

A structurally integrated modular system for energy recovery from vehicular traffic as further disclosed. The system comprises an “X” & “Y” axis horizontal array of Linear Electromagnetic Generators, (LEGs), in a close packed hexagonal or other shaped structural grid, as further disclosed. Each LEG is spring-less, using a high strength main core magnet, and a fixed lower magnet to repel the main core magnet at a designed coercive restoring force. The plurality of LEGs are contained within Modular Prefabricated Structural Sandwich Composite Panels, (MPSSCPs), designed to be placed upon a roadway surface, (whose upper surfaces are flexible and lower surfaces semi-rigid). The resultant energy recovery is thereby converted to electric power and heat. The MPSSCPs, and their accessory panels are thereby installed upon a roadway bearing surface to generate clean electric power and heat, which thaws ice and snow, when and where necessary.

主权项

1. A linear electric generator LEG for the generation of electrical energy through conversion of mechanical work, comprising:
a housing structured to house at least a main core magnet; said main core magnet movably connected to an insert guide; a magnet wire coil disposed about the outer surface of said insert guide; a lower magnet fixedly disposed within one end of said insert guide and oriented therein so as to exert a coercive restoring force in opposing magnetic relation to said main core magnet; an o-ring disposed between said lower magnet and said main core magnet, and structured to absorb the force of impact of said main core magnet; and a multi-legged retaining guide comprising a plurality of flanged prongs cooperatively structured with said housing to restrain linear displacement of said main core magnet so as to prevent said main core magnet from exiting said housing, said prongs of said multi-legged retaining guide being disposed within said housing.
