Claim 0:
1. A system for generating energy on board a vehicle, the system comprising:
a driven component comprising a driven mass configured to rotate in response to a motion of the vehicle;
a flywheel positioned within the vehicle above a ground surface on which the vehicle travels, the flywheel selectively coupled to the driven component and configured to rotate, without contacting the ground surface, based on at least a rotation of the driven component and an inertia of the flywheel to store a kinetic energy generated by the rotation of the driven component;
a bearing configured to selectively couple the flywheel to the driven component, the bearing comprising a first side coupled to the flywheel and a second side coupled to the driven component, the first side being coaxial with the second side, the first side configured to rotate independently of the second side to allow the flywheel to rotate independently of the driven component;
an energy generation unit coupled to the flywheel via a shaft, the energy generation unit configured to generate an electrical energy in response to a rotation of the shaft and provide at least a portion of the electrical energy to a motor of a vehicle, the energy generation unit directly electrically coupled with the motor and configured to directly provide the portion of the electrical energy to the motor, the motor configured to convert the portion of the electrical energy to a mechanical energy to rotate one or more wheels of the vehicle to cause the vehicle to move; and
a stabilization bracket comprising a hole configured to receive the shaft, the stabilization bracket configured to support a weight of the flywheel to reduce a force applied from the weight of the flywheel to the bearing and reduce a vibration of the energy generation unit or the flywheel.
