06.08 Justification

Bumbuster Pro takes advantage of road undulation effects on the suspension system and vehicle body rolls to produce electricity through the following mechanism: 1. Road undulations cause the vehicle's suspension system to oscillate, creating kinetic energy. 2. The suspension system is retrofitted with a patented mechanism that harnesses this kinetic energy and converts it into pressure. 3. The pressure is accumulated in a hydraulic or pneumatic system, which is connected to a generator. 4. The accumulated pressure is released in a controlled manner, driving the generator to produce electricity. 5. Additionally, vehicle body rolls during cornering or braking also generate kinetic energy, which is harnessed and converted into pressure, further contributing to electricity generation. By leveraging road undulations and vehicle body rolls, Bumbuster Pro accumulates pressure generated from these disturbances to produce electricity, making it a innovative and sustainable solution for genera
