ABSTRACT:
An energy system which provides the self-propulsion of a vehicle, wherein the vehicle includes wheels driven by a motor. As the wheels vibrate and bounce due to irregularities in the road surface, the vibrations and bouncing cause a piston to reciprocate within a cylinder to thereby pressurize a fluid. The pressurized fluid drives a mechanical conversion device such as a turbine which in turn operates an electrical generator. The electrical energy produced by the generator charges a battery which in turn drives the motor. The driving force produced by the motor causes the wheels to turn and thereby propell the car. Additional electrical equipment provided as accessories in the vehicle, such as air conditioning, power steering, a heating system, vacuum brakes, etc., can also be coupled to the motor to be driven by the same electrical energy which is generated by the vibration and bounce of the wheels.
