A system is disclosed and illustrated for converting vertical movement of a vehicle in motion into electrical energy using at least one example embodiment having a vertically-collapsible frame with a frame bias spring to expand the frame to a normal height under a predetermined weight. The frame mounts between a shortened suspension spring and the vehicle's chassis, so that it is compressed when the vehicle bounces up and down during travel. A shaft to an electrical generator is rotated by at least one, and preferably two, sprag clutch drives responsive to the collapsing and re-expanding of the frame. The generator output is available for storage in a battery to be used by an electric motor or electric accessories. Optional fly weights can be used to keep generator shaft rotation relatively constant during transition between collapsing and re-expanding phases, and vice versa.
