    摘要: The present application relates to the technical field of a wheel, and particularly to a stored energy transmission mechanism and stored energy-driven wheel. In particular, a stored energy transmission mechanism is integrated with a rotating component, which is used to drive the rotating component. The stored energy transmission mechanism includes a center shaft, an elastic component, a transmission cover, a flywheel, and a flywheel seat. The elastic component is sleeved outside the center shaft and positioned in the transmission cover, with one end being fixedly connected with the center shaft and the other end being fixedly connected with the transmission. When the transmission cover is rotated and fitted with the center shaft, it can tighten the elastic component to store energy.

    摘要: Disclosed are a wave power generation system for generating electrical energy by means of a hydraulic circuit, and a method for controlling same. The wave power generation system comprises a hydraulic motor for storing motion energy in a form of fluid pressure and volume if a plurality of tension transmission members, for transmitting motion energy by means of six-degrees-of-freedom motion of a movable object floating on the waves, move in one direction, and for maintaining the tension of the tension transmission members by means of the stored energy if the tension transmission members move in the other direction. Electric energy is alternately generated by means of the bidirectional motion of the plurality of tension transmission members.

    摘要: An apparatus for generating electricity from falling material includes a capture wheel arranged to receive a falling material and be rotated thereby. The capture wheel may be mounted on a transportable housing having a generator therein. The housing may be a shipping container and the apparatus may be arranged to fit entirely within the shipping container for transportation. The capture wheel may include a hub comprising a central core encapsulated in a layer of resilient material; a wheel framework extending from the hub, wherein the wheel framework is connected to the resilient layer; and a plurality of bucket sections mounted on the wheel framework and arranged to receive the falling material. The hub may be a tri-layer hub including a central core, a layer of resilient material, and an outer support ring surrounding the layer of resilient material. A method of generating electricity using such an apparatus is also disclosed.

    摘要: The system is directed to enhancing the energy efficiency of electrical charging systems. The system is utilized in circuits that include a power source such as a battery feeding electrical current into an energy storage device such as a capacitor to charge the capacitor with electrical power. The system of the invention extracts energy from such circuits that would otherwise be converted into heat and thereby wasted. The system includes an energy storage and release device such as a motor that is connected to the circuit and converts the electrical energy therein that would otherwise be converted into heat into mechanical energy or electrical energy by means of monitoring and controlling electrical current flow through the system to maintain it at low and constant levels.

    摘要: A generator system that includes a platform configured to support a load (FIG. 1). The platform is located in an area at which loads are present for a certain period of time on a recurrent basis. That is, loads that undergo recurrent loading and unloading, wherein loads on the platform will cause compression of the platform thereby generating motive power. The generator system includes a generator operatively connected to the belt and configured to convert at least a portion of the motive power into electric energy. The generator system further includes an automatic transmission box configured to translate the at least a portion of the motive power to the generator.

    摘要: An agricultural system including an agricultural baler including a rotary input shaft connectable by way of a baler driveline to a rotatable flywheel; a hydraulic pump for supplying the agricultural baler with hydraulic fluid, the rotatable flywheel being connectable to the hydraulic pump via the driveline. The baler is transferrable between a first state for driving the hydraulic pump by external drive power provided by a corresponding work vehicle, and a second state for driving the hydraulic pump by the rotatable flywheel. The agricultural system further includes a control unit that is configured to: receive input-power-data indicative of a drive power available for driving the hydraulic pump in the first state of the baler; and determine a control-signal for transferring the baler into the second state, if the input-power-data indicates that the available drive power is insufficient for driving the hydraulic pump.
