Abstract

A power generation arrangement in which electricity is generated by rotational movement of moving vehicle parts. The electricity may be generated from a wheel of the vehicle and stored in batteries (figure 2). The electricity generated may be transferred from the batteries to a house or other building. This electricity may be used to power a water pump which pumps water around the house or building (figures 3 and 4). Electricity may also be generated by turbines mounted within these water pipes. The pump may also be powered by electricity generated by wind turbines and solar panels mounted on the house or building (figure 4).
