Patent attributes
An system and apparatus for capturing electricity comprised of: a wheel and a fixed conducting rod, both in electrical contact with the wheel and at least one electrical component or system in which the wheel is rotatable about an axis. The wheel is comprised of: a rotatable hub; a rotatable conducting rod within the rotatable hub; at least one electricity generating device positioned on the hub and comprised of: a generally hollow housing having a distal end and a proximate end; a wire coil fixed within the housing and having an axial bore therethrough; a translatable magnet; and at least one wire in electrical contact with the wire coil and the rotatable hub; wherein as the wheel is rotated, the translatable magnet laterally translates back and forth within the housing and passing through the wire coil to generate the electric current.
