Abstract

An electrical energy generating system utilizing a moving vehicle is described. The system includes magnet means preferably affixed to a moving vehicle for producing a magnetic field. An induction coil means is positioned in the magnetic field and preferably extending in a parallel direction relative to the magnet means so that the magnetic field passing through the induction coil generates electrical energy which may be stored in a storage means.

Claims

1. An electrical energy generating system connected to a moving vehicle comprising:

(a) magnet means affixed to a side portion and a top of the moving vehicle for producing a magnetic field, said magnet means having a bar magnet;

(b) coil means positioned within the magnetic field of said magnet means, whereby the magnetic means moves along said coil means to produce electrical energy in said coil means; and

(c) storage means electrically connected to said coil means for storing electrical energy produced in said coil means.

2. An electrical energy generating system according to claim 1, wherein said coil means extends in a parallel direction relative to said magnet means.

3. An electrical energy generating system according to claim 1, wherein said coil means comprises an electronmagnet.

4. An electrical energy generating system utilizing a railroad train comprising:

(a) magnetic means having a bar magnet affixed on a top and a side portion of the body of the railroad train for producing a magnetic field;

(b) induction coil means encircling the magnetic means and the railroad train, said coil means positioned with the magnetic field generated by said magnet means and extending in a parallel direction relative to said magnet means whereby the magnetic field produced by said magnet means travels along said induction coil means producing electrical energy; and

(c) storage means electrically connection to said induction coil means for storing the electrical energy generated by the magnetic field.
