I was wondering when someone would look in to this. It ran through my head at one point. Just wasn't a project I could take on. Got the idea from those little rechargeable flash light that you shake. Just in a much larger scale.
The amount of force those shocks see is enormous I'm sure. I think it has the potential of increasing the range of any vehicle with an electric power train immensely. It would also be something that could be retro-fitted to an existing vehicle if done right.
