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.

An electrical power generating apparatus for generating electrical power using a generator connected directly or indirectly to a flywheel is disclosed. The apparatus comprises items such as platforms, protrusions, generators, flywheels and other components. The platforms are configured to be laid on a surface and easily allow an object, e.g., a vehicle to traverse over the platforms. Each protrusion is configured to move downward and upward through apertures located in a top portion of the platform. The protrusions may interact with reset members. The protrusions move in a linear/angle downward/downward-upward motion when the object pushes/strikes/depresses the protrusions. Each protrusion can be connected in an operative manner to a shaft via a gear, and/or to a lever which is connected in an operative manner to shaft, thereby rotating the shaft by converting linear motion to rotational motion. A generator, flywheel, and gearbox can be coupled to one or more shaft.

An electrical generating apparatus comprises a raised platform positioned on a roadway which includes a housing having a plurality of removable and replaceable modules. Each module of the plurality of modules includes at least one protrusion, at least one rotatable shaft, and at least one generator, which are all operably connected. The at least one protrusion extends above an upper surface of the module in an initial position, and the protrusion is flat or planar relative to the upper surface in a secondary position. When the at least one protrusion of one module of the plurality of modules is moved to the secondary position by the tires of a vehicle passing over the protrusion, the movement of the at least one protrusion creates a rotation force which causes rotation of the at least one rotatable shaft, which causes rotation of the at least one generator thereby generating electricity.

A device for converting mechanical energy into electric energy. A first magnet is arranged above a second magnet and in a manner movable in the direction of the second magnet. The same poles of the first magnet and the second magnet are aligned with each other. A first coil has windings and an inner space formed by the windings. The first coil receives the first magnet in its inner space during a movement in the direction of the second magnet and generates a corresponding induction voltage. A second coil has windings and an inner space formed by the windings. The second coil is arranged below the first coil and aligned perpendicularly to the first coil. The second coil is arranged at least partially around the second magnet and generates a voltage when the first magnet moves in the direction of the second magnet.

A power generating element is provided. The power generating element includes an electrode pair and an intermediate layer. The electrode pair includes a first electrode and a second electrode. The intermediate layer is disposed between the first electrode and the second electrode. The intermediate layer is insulating and has a first side facing the first electrode and a second side facing the second electrode. The first electrode and the intermediate layer together operate as a contact/separation mechanism configured to perform a contact/separation operation, when an external force is applied to the power generating element to generate power. In the contact/separation operation, the contact/separation mechanism transitions between a contact or close state in which the first electrode and the first side are brought into contact with each other or close to each other, and a separation state in which the first electrode and the first side are separated from each other.

The present invention is a new 21.sup.st Century Electric Generation.
