Abstract:
1. A mechanical compressor storage system for potential energy for electric energy generation for electric vehicles or compressed air vehicles taking advantage of a weight of the vehicle in motion, the mechanic compressor storage system comprising: a cylinder mounted on each vehicle wheel of the electric vehicle or the compressed air vehicle, wherein each cylinder including at least a sealing ring, at least a heat dissipation fin, and at least one vertical slot; a piston operatively inserted in each cylinder; an arm having a first end connected to the piston and a second end connected to a suspension grid or a suspension bracket; a pin sliding through each one of the slots; a rod connected to each one of the pins, the rod having a first end secured to the pin attached to the suspension grid or bracket grid and a second end secured to the piston; one-way valves operatively connected to each cylinder; at least one storage tank operatively connected to one of the one-way valves, wherein each one of the storage tanks includes at least one sensor, at least one actuator, and a solenoid output valve commanded by an electronic module; an electro-valve operatively connected to each storage tank; at least one gear box connected to at least one rack connected to the third wheel of the rear suspension grid or of the rear suspension bracket, or to the middle of the rear axle; a turbine having a first end connected to the gear box and a second end connected to a generator; a coupling and decoupling system operatively connected to an exit gear of the gear box, wherein the coupling and decoupling system includes a solenoid, a coupling axis, and a synchronizer; wherein movement of the vehicle moves the suspension grid or the suspension bracket on an ascending or descending movement; wherein the ascending or descending movement of the suspension grid or the suspension bracket produces the pistons to draw and compress air from the atmosphere; wherein the air is directed from the cylinders to the storage tanks through pipes; wherein when commanded by the electronic module the solenoid output valve directs the air into the turbine producing the turbine to rotate; wherein the rotation of the turbine activates the generator.
