  • Patent number: 11932060
    Abstract: A chassis mounted energy extraction and delivery system. In one embodiment, a gravity-referenced, external tire inflation facility is integrated into an aerodynamic fairing mounted on the chassis of a vehicle. In one other embodiment, a torsion bar coupled between a hub-mounted energy extraction or delivery facility and a selected portion of the chassis provides a cross-referenced fixed point of reference. In a dual-axle embodiment, a first end of the torsion bar is coupled to the hub of one axle and a second end of the torsion bar is coupled to the hub of the other axle. In a single-axle embodiment, the second end of the torsion bar is coupled to the chassis.

  • Publication number: 20120286911
    Abstract: A magnetic reduced effort braking apparatus for use to reduce the amount of effort required to depress the brake pedal of a vehicle. A rigid plate is secured to the floor of a vehicle between the gas pedal and the brake pedal and adjacent to the brake pedal and a first magnet is secured to the rigid plate. A second magnet is secured to the underside of the brake pedal slightly aligned with but slightly offset from the location of the first magnet. The magnets attract one another and reduce the amount of foot pressure required to depress the brake pedal.
