Patent ID: 7102244

Claim:
A motor vehicle-actuated electrical generating system disposed within pavement of a roadway, comprising: (a) A roadway having a surface and a plurality of spaced-apart elongated hollows extending downward vertically from said roadway surface, said hollows respectively having magnetos disposed therein; (b) said magnetos each respectively comprising a plunger, said plunger being alternately movable between a raised position and a lowered position, said plunger extending vertically downward from said roadway surface within each respective said elongated hollow; and (c) said plunger having an upper end comprising a roadway treadle, said treadle bearing on said plunger; said treadle being substantially parallel with said roadway surface when said plunger is in said raised position; and (d) said plunger having a lower end, said lower end being mounted to a compressible spring, said spring urging said plunger into said raised position; (e) said plunger being caused to move from said raised to said lowered position by the application of vehicle tire weight upon said treadle, and; (f) said plunger being caused to move from said lowered to said raised position by said spring when vehicle tire weight upon said treadle is released; and wherein further; (g) said elongated hollows have mounted therewithin a plurality of vertically spaced-apart electrical coils, said coils each having a respective central aperture, said central apertures of said coils comprising a central vertical void through which said plunger extends; and (h) said plunger having a plurality of vertically spaced-apart magnets mounted thereon, said magnets being vertically movable with the movement of said plunger alternately between said raised and lowered positions; (i) said magnet movement being in close electrically-generating effective proximity to said coil, said magnet movement causing a flow of electrons within said coils; and (j) said coils being electrically connected so as to effectively and usefully collect the energy arising from the induced electron flow within said coils.
