An electricity generation system includes a treadle module embedded in a roadway in a housing configured perpendicular to traffic flow. The treadle module includes a treadle which moves between an at-rest position and an actuated position, an electric generator, and a hydraulic cylinder mounted within the housing and connected to the treadle. The hydraulic cylinder has a check valve. A hydraulic reservoir connected to the hydraulic cylinder by way of hydraulic conduit modulates hydraulic pressure in the electricity generation system. A method of recovering energy from automotive vehicles includes embedding the electricity generation system in the roadway and routing traffic flow over the treadle array such that the traffic flow repeatedly depresses the treadle stave. The depressed treadle stave actuates the generator to produce electricity. The hydraulic cylinder returns the treadle stave to its at-rest position.

A system manages the reactions of fluids to their changes in their environment in order to convert these reactions into energy thereby harvesting the same while protecting the device against destruction or malfunction when the environmental conditions exceed predefined thresholds.

A compressed air generation system that provides compressed air for a variety of applications including generation of electricity. The a system for accumulating and storing compressed air that is later used for a variety of applications including energy generation. The system uses mechanical air pumps that are activated when vehicles, including cars and buses, pass over air pumps imbedded in the road surface. Alternative embodiments use air compression pumps to store compressed air when the moving vehicles, such as trains, pass over railroad ties. The compressed air is fed into air accumulators that are used to produce clean electrical energy.

Installation for power generation by means of vehicular traffic that can be located at floor level (2) of a vehicles traffic lane, wherein it has generator of electrical energy (5) modules, each of which includes: a set of mobile crossbar components (20) mounted over both sets (21a) of hydraulic cylinders (21), an hydraulic circuit (3), a linear hydraulic actuator (32), movement transformer mechanism (4) from straight swinging movement into a one-way rotating movement, and a generator (5) of electrical energy; each crossbar component (20) is moved by the own weight of the vehicles (7) crossing it, propelling a set of hydraulic cylinders (21) that, through the hydraulic circuit (3), are connected to the linear hydraulic actuator (32); this last one, through the movement transformer mechanism (4), propels the rotating movement of the electrical generator (5). When the wheel (70) of a vehicle (7) steps a mobile crossbar component (20), this last one moves downwards, so it propels the mobile arms (22) of the hydraulic cylinders (21). Once the descending cycle ends, the automatic repositioning of the crossbar component (20) takes places as a result of the floor elastic means (23).

A system for converting vehicular kinetic energy into electricity includes at least one on-road energy collection sub-system and a transmission sub-system. The on-road energy collection sub-system includes at least one flap lever configured to pivot in response to a vehicle driving thereover, and at least one flap lever shaft coupled to the flap lever such that the pivoting of the flap lever drives movement (rotational and/or translational) of the flap lever shaft. At least one output shaft is coupled to the flap lever shaft such that the output shaft is driven to rotate to provide a unidirectional rotational output in response to the movement of the flap lever shaft. The transmission sub-system is configured to receive the unidirectional rotational output from the output shaft as a rotational input and to selectively modify the rotational input for transmission to a flywheel sub-system.

An energy-saving power generator for generating a power by rotating a rotary member is described. A power generator 100 for generating a power by rotating a rotary member 10, comprising: opposing columns 20 (21, 22) for supporting the power generator 100; one or more movable inclined members 40 inclined from one column 21 to other column 22 for rotating the rotary member 10 and capable of ascending and descending along the columns by one or more roller members 30 arranged at opposite ends of the movable inclined members 40 and by roller receiving members 35 provided at the columns 20 (21, 22); and one or more fixed inclined members 60 inclined from the other column 22 to the one column 21 for rotating the rotary member 10 and provided at the columns 20 (21, 22) or at supporting members 50 for supporting the columns.

A roadways power and energy mechanical road captures and harnesses energies imparted to the roadway by the tires of vehicles driven on the roadway. Pistons, crank shafts, and additional mechanical interconnections mounted in a housing installed beneath the surface of the roadway are connected to generators adjacent to the roadway to convert linear mechanical motion to rotational mechanical motion to generate electrical power.

The treadle module includes a treadle which moves between an at-rest position and an actuated position, an electric generator, and a hydraulic cylinder mounted within the housing and connected to the treadle.

Mechanical movement exerted upon or over roadways is transmitted and converted to mechanical movement conducive towards the production of electrical energy. In one disclosed system, ramped or angled push bars are disposed within a roadway, such that a front set of bars and back set of bars will not be moved simultaneously. A series of one way values may enable subterranean fluid chambers to move a pendulum flywheel or rotor in a continuous direction or in a back and forth movement.
