Description

Technical field: [0001] The invention relates to a device for converting gravitational potential energy into electric energy, in particular to a device for generating electricity by utilizing the gravitational potential energy of vehicles running on a slope. Background technique: [0002] Due to geological conditions, in high mountain or hilly areas, railways or highways must be designed with a certain slope. Vehicles going up and down the slope have a large sliding force due to the effect of their gravitational potential energy, especially for vehicles with larger masses. In order to control the sliding speed, braking measures are generally required, that is, to consume gravity. Potential energy is used to reduce the speed of descent, thereby wasting these gravitational potential energies. How to collect this gravitational potential energy and convert it into useful work has not yet been reported in the literature. Invention content: [0003] The object of the present i...
