Abstract:
Systems, apparatuses and methods are provided herein for generating energy with a shopping cart. A shopping cart apparatus comprises: a front wheel, a back wheel, a bottom frame, and a power generator assembly. The power generator assembly comprises: a generator coupled to the back wheel, the generator being configured to convert kinetic energy from a rotation of the back wheel to electrical energy, a capacitor element coupled to the generator and configured to store the electrical energy generated by the generator, the capacitor element comprising a first electrode and a second electrode separated by a dielectric material, wherein the first electrode comprises an elongated member of the bottom frame extending from the back wheel toward the front wheel, and a first contact member and a second contact member coupled to the capacitor element and configured to discharge the electrical energy stored in the capacitor element.

Claim (Index 11):
A method of discharging energy from shopping carts comprising:\n coupling two or more shopping carts to each other and to a discharge device, wherein each shopping cart comprises:\n a front wheel; \n a back wheel; \n a basket portion; \n a handle portion coupled to the basket portion; \n a vertical frame portion coupled to the basket portion, the bottom frame, and the handle portion; \n a bottom frame coupled to the front wheel and the back wheel; and \n a power generator assembly comprising:\n a generator coupled to one of the front wheel and the back wheel, the generator being configured to convert kinetic energy from a rotation of the back wheel to electrical energy; \n a capacitor element coupled to the generator and configured to store the electrical energy generated by the generator, the capacitor element comprising a first electrode and a second electrode separated by a dielectric material, wherein the first electrode comprises an elongated member of one of the basket portion, the handle portion, the vertical frame portion, and the bottom frame; and \n a first contact member and a second contact member coupled to the capacitor element and configured to discharge the electrical energy stored in the capacitor element.
