First Claim
Patent Images
1. An energy recovery system comprising:
- a permanent magnet producing a magnetic field, said permanent magnet adapted for mounting to a vehicle; and
a stationary conductor 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 the conductor.
