Abstract
A wireless vehicle data communications device is adapted for mounting on a wheel hub assembly of a vehicle and incorporates a self-generating electrical power supply. The vehicle data communications device includes a housing, a microprocessor located inside the housing, a signal transmitting device, a signal receiving device, an electric generator, and an energy storage and supply medium. The housing is adapted to rotate simultaneously with the wheel hub assembly when the vehicle is in motion. Rotation of the housing relative to the components carrier induces an electric current.
