Abstract: The invention relates to the supplemental generation of energy from operation of a train, and specifically to the generation of energy in connection to the rotation of disc brake rotors in combination with generators. Rotation of the disc brake rotors creates rotational energy that is transmitted to the generators, which then transmits the energy to a series of batteries for storage. The batteries may be stored in the platform for the train and/or within the train car itself. Energy from the batteries may be utilized by removal of the batteries from the train or through a number of outlets, sockets or connectors associated with the train car or platform.

Abstract: A system and method for the supplemental generation of energy from operation of a vehicle, and specifically to the generation of energy from a vehicle's disc brakes in combination with generators. The system may include a generator, a rotational coupler such as a sprocket, a shaft connecting the rotational coupler to the generator, a rotational conveyor engaging the disc brake rotor and coupler to transmit rotational energy of a vehicle wheel to the rotational coupler and generator. In an alternate embodiment, the system may be used in connection with a disc brake caliper. A coupler bracket may be used to facilitate placement of the sprocket and rotational conveyor.

Abstract: The invention relates to the supplemental generation of energy from a vehicle operation, and specifically to the generation of energy in connection to a vehicle's disc brakes in combination with brushless electric motor-generators. The aim of the invention is to provide a solution making it possible to provide a generator and a disc brake having a compact structure.
