US Patent 11970073 Vehicle energy generation with flywheel

A system for generating energy on board a vehicle can comprise a flywheel, a bearing, an energy generation unit, and a stabilization bracket. The flywheel can rotate based on at least a kinetic energy of a driven mass selectively coupled to the flywheel via the bearing. The energy generation unit can convert a mechanical energy received from the flywheel to an electrical energy and provide at least a portion of the electrical energy to a motor of the vehicle to power the vehicle. The stabilization bracket can support the flywheel and reduce vibrations of the flywheel or energy generation unit.
