A vehicle energy harvesting roadway is provided. The vehicle energy harvesting roadway includes a deformable driving surface that is longitudinally flexible and transversely stiff. The deformable driving surface is disposed between a passing vehicle and one or more transducers or one or more compressible hoses.

An adaptive, low-impact vehicle energy harvester system, and a method of harvesting vehicle energy, is provided. The system includes a plurality of channels disposed longitudinally in a trafficway, wherein each of the plurality of channels includes one or more compressible, elongated hollow bodies such that a movement of a vehicle along the trafficway causes contents in the elongated hollow bodies to be expelled from one end, a motor in communication with the hollow bodies such that the contents expelled from one end of the hollow bodies actuate the motor, and a control unit that varies a resistance to the movement of the contents in the elongated hollow bodies based on at least one of a mass of the vehicle, a velocity of the vehicle, and a rate of change of velocity of the vehicle.

Adaptive, low-impact vehicle energy harvester

An energy harvesting mechanism creates electrical energy from in vivo physiological motion, transforming low frequency, physiological excitation into high frequencies for producing electricity and harvesting energy using an energy collector is deformed from variation of physiologic forces or motion with an input displacement, then captured, and then released to allow the energy collector to move with an output displacement being either faster or has a higher frequency, or both, when compared to the input displacement.

Apparatus for in vivo energy harvesting

An energy harvester is provided for converting an input force into electrical energy and also allowing for energy to be stored and then released at a later time. The energy harvester includes a receiver, energy collector, converter, and holder, and operates in three stages. The receiver receives the input force and the energy collector is moved by the receiver with an input displacement. The energy collector is then held in a catch position. The input force changes direction, and the energy collector is released by the holder and moves with an output displacement that is different from the input displacement. The converter generates electrical energy from the motion created.
