Patent ID: 8356480

Claim:
A system comprising a plurality of thrust rods oriented to extend beyond a surface of a road or track way adapted to receive vehicular traffic thereon; each thrust rod reciprocating in the presence of vehicular traffic and spring biased to return to an original, unstressed position; each reciprocation of an associated thrust rod pulses a fluid contained within an associated first hydraulic cylinder, in response to movement of a first piston associated with the thrust rod; each fluid pulse communicates through a single fluidic line to a first surface of a second piston, associated with second cylinder arrangement, such that the first surface of the second piston has a smaller cross section than that of the first piston; wherein the second piston is spring biased to return to an original, unstressed position simultaneously with the thrust rod and has a remote surface, remote form the single fluidic line which causes fluid to be pumped from a reservoir, through a fluid conduit past a turbine and generator arrangement; and wherein fluid from the turbine flows to the reservoir.
