Abstract: Certain embodiments of the invention may include control systems and methods for monitoring environmental variables, performance variables and conditioning electrical power in energy-recapture sources of mechanical energy, which would otherwise be dissipated, as exemplified by farms for energy-harvesting to provide available electrical energy. Said farms may include one or more energy-recapture sources. One method for controlling may include measuring individual source energy output of one or more energy-recapture sources and measuring conditions of one or more energy-recapture sources via a controller that facilitates communication with one or more energy-recapture sources.

Abstract: Certain embodiments of the invention may include apparatus, systems and methods for efficient implementation of energy-recapture farms for conditioning electrical power from energy-recapture sources of vehicular mechanical energy, which would otherwise be dissipated, as exemplified by farms for energy-recapture that provide available electrical energy-for commercial distribution. Said farms may include one or more energy-recapture sources. One method for aggregation may include a plurality of mechanical energy-recapture devices comprising individual source energy output of one or more energy-recapture sources, measuring conditions of one or more energy-recapture sources via a controller that facilitates communication with one or more energy-recapture sources, and managing the distribution of the conditioned electrical energy to the national electrical grid.

Abstract: A power-recapture method and system converts mechanical energy, which would otherwise be dissipated, into available electrical energy. A plurality of computer-coordinated Electric Generators are arranged with salient sensors that detect appropriate motion then adjust the phasing and intensity of electromagnets of the Electric Generator to optimally convert variable mechanical motion into electric current.
