1. An energy recovery system comprising:
- a magnetic field generating device generating a magnetic field; and
a conductor, one of said magnetic field generating device and said conductor being adapted to a mount to a vehicle and the other one of said magnetic field generating device and said conductor being adapted for placing in or adjacent the path of the vehicle wherein said magnetic field induces current to flow through said conductor when the vehicle moves past said other one of said magnetic field generating device and said conductor.

Abstract
An energy recovery system including a device that produces a magnetic field, which is adapted for mounting to a vehicle, and a stationary conductor adapted for placing in or adjacent the path of the vehicle wherein the magnetic field induces current to flow through the conductor when the vehicle moves past the conductor. The device is adapted to move between an operative position in close proximity to the stationary conductor and a stowed position further away from the stationary conductor.

27. A method of recovering energy comprising:
-
movably mounting a magnetic field generating device to a vehicle; providing a stationary conductor external to the vehicle in the path of the vehicle; moving the magnetic field generating device between a stowed position and an operative position where the magnetic field generating device is in close proximity to the conductor wherein the magnetic field generated by the device generates current flow in the conductor when the vehicle travels past the conductor. - View Dependent Claims (28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34)
