Abstract

Our invention is focus on the fields of ecology and terrestrial transportation. The goal is to reduce the use of no-renewable fuels, as well as to reduce pollution consequences (the ecological impact).

Our system will enhance currents systems by adding a component of energy generation that will:

Fossil fuel vehicles: Improve miles per gallon

Hybrid vehicles: improve miles per Gallon, Auto recharge battery

Electrical vehicles: Auto recharges battery

The world'"'"'s roads are populated with motor vehicles that have tires filled with compress air/solid rubber. These tires rotate changing constantly the point of support. These points suffer vibrations and variance of pressure as result of supporting the car. Our system adds a piezoelectric material or other systems inside the tire. These piezoelectric elements, in combination with the gravity, will produce electricity. The electricity will be transported to the battery of the vehicle. This amounts to transforming gravity into electric energy.

Claims

1. A method of to use the graveness to produce electric energy to recharge the vehicle battery, comprising the steps of:

Using a modified version of the normal vehicle tires where we will locate piezoelectric elements, electric circuits, and a primary and secondary reel, electric regulator, vehicle battery.

Using the said graveness force that produces the instantaneous increment of pressure, that it happen during the said wheel'"'"'s rotation. This happens in the point of tire'"'"'s contact with the pavement

Producing an electric sign when the said piezoelectric elements, incorporated in the said rolling layer, are subjected to the said increase of pressure

Creating a continuous electric current, produced by the said wheel rotation that it create multiple and successive points of high pressure.

Conducting the said electric current to the said primary reel to create an electromagnetic camp

Inducting that said electric current in a secondary reel located in the vehicle'"'"'s body, with compatible characteristics to the primary reel.

Transmitting the said electric current to an electric regulator, that regulator has compatible characteristics with the battery.

Recharging the vehicle battery with the said electric current that was regulated in the said electric regulator

2. An electric wheel-generator. This is a modified version of a normal pneumatic vehicle tire in which, during the manufacturing process, a reticular net of piezoelectric elements will be added in the rolling layer of all the tires. The piezoelectric elements are electrically interconnected with longitudinal wires, and transverse cables.

During the rotation of the wheel an instantaneous increase of pressure, it takes place in the point of contact of the tire with the pavement. This differential of pressure makes that the PEGs compressed by that force it will produced an electric sign.

The wheel rotation will create multiple and successive points of pressure increase. The PEG will convert the pressure into electrical current that will be directed to a ring form reel mounted in the metallic part of the wheel. This reel it will create an electric camp

That camp will induce an electric current in the secondary reel mounted in the stationary part of the brake.

The created electric current will be transfer through a stabilizer device, that device regulates the current for its storage in the vehicle battery.

3. An electric wheel-generator as recited in claim 2, wherein the tires are made of solid rubber.

4. An electric wheel-generator as recited in claim 2, wherein piezoelectric materials will be added from manufacture in the rolling layer of all the tires of the vehicle.

5. An electric wheel-generator as recited in claim 2, wherein we will use piezoelectric generators (PEG) to install in the rolling layer of any “

any kind”

of vehicle tires modifying it with the goal of electric/power generation.

8. An electric wheel-generator as recited in claim 2, wherein the vehicle tires are modified with any kind of element to transform it into an electric generator.

6. The use of the piezoelectric generator (PEG) to install them in the rolling layer on “

vehicle tires of any kind”

modifying it with the goal of electric/power generation.

7. The system of transferring and transmitting the electricity, produced in the electric wheel-generator, into a stabilization devise that will prepare it for storage into the battery.

9. The use of any kind of element to transform vehicle wheels, of any kind, into electric generators.
