Kinetic electric generator system

Abstract

A compact harvesting automated motion power (CHAMP) system designed to significantly enhance the driving range of electric vehicles (EVs) through the harnessing of kinetic energy generated by moving parts of the vehicle. This CHAMP system consists of a compact generator unit with a unique attachment mechanism, enabling its integration with various vehicle components that experience regular motion, such as suspension systems, shock absorbers, steering columns, and other movable parts. By capturing and converting this kinetic energy into electrical energy, the CHAMP system contributes to extending the range of EVs, thereby promoting their efficiency and sustainability.
