ABSTRACT:
The present disclosure is directed to a power generating unit secured beneath a semi-trailer on an over-the-road vehicle. The power generating unit is selectively positionable from a raised position to a lowered position wherein a generating wheel is in contact with the road surface for recovering brake torque potential energy during select operational states of the vehicle. A storage battery is carried on the vehicle trailer and in electrical communication with the generator to store such excess electrical energy. Periodically, the electrical energy is made available for discharging to a stationary storage battery for sale and distribution into the power grid as supplemental energy or alternately to provide a temporary power substation.
