Abstract

An electrical energy producing platform system to generate electrical energy from the wasted existing motion and weight of vehicles and trains. In the first embodiment of the present invention, the system comprises a deformable bladder containing a volume of hydraulic fluid and compressible from the weight of a moving vehicle. As a vehicle is driven over the bladder, the bladder compresses and forces the hydraulic fluid into a circulation assembly in fluid communication with the bladder. The circulation assembly converts the energy of the hydraulic fluid into mechanical energy which in turn is used to power a generator to thereby generate electrical energy. In the second embodiment of the present invention, the deformable bladder is compressed by a beam driven thereover by a moving vehicle. It is contemplated in a third embodiment of the present invention that a plurality of beams are depressed toward the road by a vehicle driven thereover. In the third embodiment, the beams are mechanically coupled to a hydraulic cylinder which translates the movement of the beams to a hydraulic cylinder that forces the hydraulic fluid to a circulation assembly to thereby produce electrical energy. In the fourth embodiment of the present invention, a deformable bladder containing a volume of hydraulic fluid is disposed adjacent to a rail of a railroad track. The wheel of a train compresses the bladder to thereby force the hydraulic fluid into a circulation assembly which produces electrical energy therefrom. Therefore, the present invention converts the untapped motion of vehicles and trains to produce a clean and economical source of alternative electrical energy.
