Abstract:

The system for generating and storing clean energy includes a flexible body externally exposed to an intermittent localized pressure. A pair of one-way check valves couple to the flexible body. A first valve is configured to facilitate unidirectional fluid flow into the flexible body and a second valve configured to facilitate unidirectional fluid flow out from the flexible body. A substantially rigid and planar base is positioned between the flexible body and the intermittent localized pressure so that pressure point peristaltic expansion and compression cycles along a portion of the flexible body cause positive fluid displacement into and out from the flexible body. An energy generation system in fluid communication with the flexible body is configured to generate electrical energy from pressurized fluid resultant from the peristaltic expansion and compression cycles.
