To provide an energy-generating device that captures energy associated with relative motion, whilst providing damping to movement in a compact, self-contained apparatus, offering the ability to be a direct replacement for non-energy harvesting dampers.SOLUTION: When a piston moves, hydraulic fluid is pressurized and drives a hydraulic motor. The hydraulic motor drives an electric generator that produces electricity. Both the motor and generator are arranged in a central portion of a device housing. Exemplary configurations are disclosed such as mono-tube, twin-tube, tri-tube and rotary based structures. By varying electrical characteristics on an internal generator, kinematic characteristics of an energy harvesting apparatus can be dynamically altered. In another mode, the apparatus can be used as an actuator to perform linear movement. Applications include vehicle suspension systems, railcar bogie dampers, and other industrial applications.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1

    【課題】コンパクトな内蔵式装置内で運動を減衰させながら、相対運動に伴うエネルギを取り込み、非エネルギ収集ダンパと直接置き換えることができるエネルギ生成装置の提供。【解決手段】ピストンが移動すると、油圧流体が加圧され、電気を生成する発電機を駆動するための油圧モータを駆動する。モータと発電機は装置ハウジングの中心にある。例示的に、モノチューブ式、ツインチューブ式、トリチューブ式、および回転式の基本構造などが開示される。内部発電機の電気特性を変えることで、エネルギ収集装置の運動特性を動的に変え得る。別モードでは、装置を、直線運動を行うアクチュエータとして使用し得る。用途としては、車両のサスペンションシステム、鉄道車両ボギーダンパなどの産業用途が挙げられる。【選択図】図1
