 POWER GENERATING SHOCK ABSORBER

ABSTRACT

An electromagnetic linear generator and regenerative electromagnetic shock absorber is disclosed

which converts variable frequency, repetitive intermittent linear displacement motion to useful
electrical power. The innovative device provides for superposition of radial components of the
magnetic flux density within a coil winding array. Due to the vector superposition of the magnetic
field and magnetic flux from a plurality of magnets, a nearly four-fold increase in magnetic flux
density is achieved over conventional electromagnetic generator designs with a potential sixteen-fold
increase in power generating capacity. As a regenerative shock absorber, the disclose device is capable
of converting parasitic displacement motion and vibration encountered under normal urban driving
condition to a useful electrical energy for powering vehicles and accessories or charging batteries in
electric and fossil fuel powered vehicles. The disclosed device is capable of high power generation
capacity and energy conversion efficiency with minimal weight penalty for improved fuel efficiency.
