ENERGY CONVERTER Russian patent published in 2005 - IPC

FIELD: transport engineering.

SUBSTANCE: invention is designed for converting kinetic energy of moving vehicle into electric energy. Proposed device contains longitudinal projection over road bed widthwise road-way square to longitudinal axis and consisting of two surfaces inclined in opposite sides, and power drive installed in cavity under road bed and mechanically coupled with energy consumer shaft. Power drive is made in form of drum arranged symmetrically under projection over its entire width, rigidly secured on axle parallel to projection and installed in rotation supports. One of inclined surfaces of projection is made rigid, and the other is provided with resilient section parallel to projection over its entire length for contact with side surface of drum when vehicle runs one.

EFFECT: simplified design, improved reliability in operation.
