AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
Existing systems for harnessing vehicle momentum, such as flywheels and electromagnetic braking, are inefficient or not applicable to non-electrical vehicles, and result in energy waste.
Method used
A linear generator system where a vehicle's motion is harnessed using a stator built into the travel path, comprising magnets and coils, to generate electricity and brake simultaneously.
Benefits of technology
The system effectively converts vehicle momentum into electricity, reducing braking distance and energy waste, applicable to various vehicles including trains and elevators, while maintaining electrical independence.

Abstract
A linear generator for generating electrical power from momentum of a vehicle, comprises a moving part and a stator. The moving part is a powered vehicle moving along a defined path and the stator is built along the defined path. Examples are trains and elevators, and the linear generator may be used to help with braking and at the same time prevent waste of the energy from the vehicle momentum.
