Wheel-Driven Electric Generator

Abstract

An electric generator includes a wheel coupled to an axle of a vehicle which includes battery. A rotator is fixedly mounted to the wheel and includes a series of magnets positioned so that the north pole of one magnet abuts the south pole of an adjacent magnet. A stator is rotatably mounted to the axle, and includes a mass positioned off-center from the axle for biasing the stator toward a position that is generally stationary relative to the vehicle. The stator further includes a plurality of electric coils for generating electric current when the rotator is moved relative to the stator and the magnetic field of each magnet passes through the plurality of electric coils, the coils being electrically coupled to each other and to the battery of the vehicle to transmit electric current generated from the plurality of coils to the battery.

1 . An electric generating mechanism comprising:
 at least one drive wheel having gear teeth;   at least one generator gear having gear teeth enmeshed with the gear teeth of the at least one drive wheel; and   an axle coupled to each at least one generator gear and further coupled to a generator.
