The present disclosure pertains to a device for capturing and converting kinetic energy into electrical energy. The device comprises a unitary molded mat body that includes a first plurality of parallel primary fluid flow channels integrally formed within its structure, where adjacent channels share dividing walls. These channels are arranged in a uniform, repeating pattern across the width of the mat. A first edge manifold channel extends along one edge of the mat, while a second edge manifold channel extends along the opposite edge. Each of the primary fluid flow channels is in fluid communication with both edge manifold channels, which are configured to connect to a pressure storage system. This configuration ensures efficient energy transfer, with fluid flow facilitated by the interconnected manifold and primary channels. The device's unitary construction optimizes durability and performance in converting kinetic energy into electrical energy.
