1. A system to generate electric power to charge a battery of a vehicle, the system comprises:
at least one mounting surface coupled with at least one tire of the vehicle to receive
shockwaves generated from the at least one tire when the vehicle is in motion, wherein the
shockwaves are generated based on at least one of tire vibrations, road irregularities, and vehicle
acceleration;
a plurality of electric generators mounted on the at least one mounting surface and
configured to generate the electric power using the shockwaves for charging the battery of the
vehicle; and
a transfer means configured to transfer the generated electric power from the plurality of
electric generators to the battery of the vehicle for charging the battery.
2. The system of claim 1, wherein the at least one mounting surface comprises a flexible material,
and
wherein the at least one mounting surface is capable of being detachable from the vehicle.
3. The system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the at least one mounting surface is coupled with
the at least one tire of the vehicle directly or indirectly via coupling means.
4. The system as claimed in claim 3, wherein the coupling means comprises at least one of: metal
structure, airflow system, and hydraulic means.
5. The system as claimed in claim 1, wherein each of the plurality of electric generators comprises
at least one of:
an inductive cell comprising:
a coil of a metal wire arranged for electromagnetic induction,
a magnet arranged to oscillate back and forth through center of the coil in response to the
generated shockwaves to induce current through the coil, wherein the current is induced by the
changing magnetic field in the coil,
a spring to facilitate oscillation of the magnet,
an inner cylinder assembling the coil and enabling the magnet to oscillate inside the coil,
a shell arranged as a housing of the induction cell, and
an elastic rubber arranged to prevent damage during strong impacts to ensure efficient
magnet rebound; and
16
piezoelectric materials configured to convert mechanical energy into electric power
through the electromagnetic induction.

with the plurality of electric generators to store excess electric power left after charging the
battery.
8. A method of generating electric power to charge a battery of a vehicle, the method comprises:
receiving, using at least one mounting surface, shockwaves generated from at least one
tire of the vehicle when the vehicle is in motion, wherein the shockwaves are generated based on
at least one of tire vibrations, road irregularities, and vehicle acceleration;
generating the electric power, using a plurality of electric generators, using the
shockwaves for charging the battery of the vehicle, wherein the plurality of electric generators
mounted on the at least one mounting surface; and
transferring, using a transfer means, the generated electric power from the plurality of
electric generators to the battery of the vehicle for charging the battery.
9. The method as claimed in claim 8, further comprises:
storing excess electric power, left after charging the battery, in a backup energy storage
device coupled with the plurality of electric generators.
10. The method as claimed in claim 8, further comprises:
regulating the electric power transferred to the battery via a power management system
of the transfer means.
