Self-reinflating tire

Abstract

A device for transport of air in the tire P or close to it consisting of a chamber K in the shape of a hollow compressible channel, placed along at least a part of the tire perimeter, characterized by the fact that a ring OK is placed at the inner side of the chamber K with the distance of its outer side from the tire axis of rotation equal to 1 to 1.1 multiple of the distance of the bottom side of the chamber K from the axis of rotation of the tire P.

1 . A tire and device for converting energy, comprising:
 a tire,   a deformable chamber at least partially defined by one or more walls and having one or more apertures, the one or more walls having shape memory, the chamber being disposed in or adjacent to the tire such that, as the tire rotates, fluid in the chamber is caused to flow to one of the one or more apertures via peristalsis,   a power generator in fluid communication with the one of the one or more apertures and configured to transform kinetic energy of fluid flowing through one of the one or more apertures into electricity.   
     
     
         2 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein a first aperture of the chamber in communication with an environment. 
     
     
         3 . The device of  claim 1 ,; wherein the power generator is in fluid communication with the aperture. 
     
     
         4 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein a first aperture of the chamber is in fluid communication with a tire interior or an inner tube. 
     
     
         5 . The device of  claim 4 , wherein the power generator is in fluid communication with the aperture. 
     
     
         6 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein a first aperture of the chamber is in fluid communication with an environment, and a second aperture of the chamber is in fluid communication with a tire interior or an inner tube. 
     
     
         7 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein a first aperture of the chamber is in fluid communication with a tire cavity, and a second aperture of the chamber is in fluid communication with the tire cavity or an inner tube. 
     
     
         8 . The device of  claim 7 , wherein the power generator includes a first power generator in fluid communication with the first aperture. 
     
     
         9 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the power generator includes a first power generator comprising a magnet and a coil of wire, wherein the magnet is capable of moving through the coil generating electrical current. 
     
     
         10 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the power generator includes a first power generator comprising one or more of a blade wheel, an airjet, a rotating ball, a piezo electric device, a free-wheel like device, a gear-wheel pump, a piston-type generator, and a valve. 
     
     
         11 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the power generator includes a first power generator comprising a source of a magnetic field and a coil of wire. 
     
     
         12 . The device of  claim 11 , wherein the coil generates electrical current when within range of the magnetic field.
