ABSTRACT:
Vibrational motion caused by a moving vehicle is transduced into electrical energy by a vibrational-to-electric energy converter, and stored in an electrical energy storage device such as a rechargeable battery. The electrical energy storage device may then power one or more electronic components located on the moving vehicle. Where a radio transmitter is used, information produced by the electronic components located on the moving vehicle may be transmitted to other locations/devices.
