A gravity-fed, tire pumped, vehicle energy generating power wheel includes
an axle on a vehicle; a wheel on the axle; a tire on the wheel having
deflection characteristics; a pump mechanism for activation by the tire
when the tire is characterized by the deflection; the pump mechanism
operating via a mechanical linkage, the operation of the mechanical
linkage being activated by a ratcheting gear system operable by the
deflection; and the mechanical linkage activating at least one of: power
generator, at least one hydraulic motor and at least one pneumatic power
