1. A motor vehicle-actuated electrical generating system disposed within pavement of a roadway, comprising:
- (a) A roadway having a surface and a plurality of spaced-apart elongated hollows extending downward vertically from said roadway surface, said hollows respectively having magnetos disposed therein;
(b) said magnetos each respectively comprising a plunger, said plunger being alternately movable between a raised position and a lowered position, said plunger extending vertically downward from said roadway surface within each respective said elongated hollow; and
(c) said plunger having an upper end comprising a roadway treadle, said treadle bearing on said plunger;
said treadle being substantially parallel with said roadway surface when said plunger is in said raised position; and
(d) said plunger having a lower end, said lower end being mounted to a compressible spring, said spring urging said plunger into said raised position;
(e) said plunger being caused to move from said raised to said lowered position by the application of vehicle tire weight upon said treadle, and;
(f) said plunger being caused to move from said lowered to said raised position by said spring when vehicle tire weight upon said treadle is released; and
wherein further;
(g) said elongated hollows have mounted therewithin a plurality of vertically spaced-apart electrical coils, said coils each having a respective central aperture, said central apertures of said coils comprising a central vertical void through which said plunger extends; and
(h) said plunger having a plurality of vertically spaced-apart magnets mounted thereon, said magnets being vertically movable with the movement of said plunger alternately between said raised and lowered positions;
(i) said magnet movement being in close electrically-generating effective proximity to said coil, said magnet movement causing a flow of electrons within said coils; and
(j) said coils being electrically connected so as to effectively and usefully collect the energy arising from the induced electron flow within said coils.

Abstract
An electrical generating system includes a plurality of linear operating magnetos impeded within a roadway pavement, whereby the passage of vehicle wheels from moving motor vehicles directly depresses linear solenoid plungers for generating electricity, without the need for the extra energy consumption drawbacks, such as bellows, compressed air or ratchet mechanisms.
