NOVELTY - Energy generating support member comprises: a first chamber (1, 2); a second chamber (1, 2); one or more layers of a dielectric elastomer; and a compression member.    USE - The support member is useful for generating energy (claimed) from any vehicle, particularly automobiles and any other vibrating industrial and household appliance.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - Energy generating support member comprises: a first chamber (1, 2); a second chamber (1, 2) operatively movable relative to the first chamber (1, 2); one or more layers of a dielectric elastomer positioned within the second chamber (1, 2); and a compression member attached to the first chamber (1, 2) and in communication with the one or more layers in the second chamber (1, 2), where movement between the first chamber (1, 2) and second chamber (1, 2) urges the compression member to change a pressure imparted upon or against the one or more layers so that the one or more layers generate an electric discharge in response to the change in pressure. INDEPENDENT CLAIMS are:    (1) a method of generating energy comprising: receiving one or more vibrations in a vehicle; imparting a movement between a first chamber (1, 2) and a second chamber (1, 2) operatively movable relative to the first chamber (1, 2) in response to the one or more vibrations; urging a compression member attached to the first chamber (1, 2) to change a pressure imparted upon or against one or more layers of a dielectric elastomer positioned within the second chamber (1, 2); and generating an electric discharge from the one or more layers in response to the change in pressure; and    (2) an energy generating support mount comprising: a housing having a first surface coupled to a vibrating mass; and one or more layers of a dielectric elastomer positioned within the housing, where vibrational movement of the mass against the first surface changes a pressure imparted upon or against the one or more layers so that the one or more layers generate an electric discharge in response to the change in pressure.    DESCRIPTION OF DRAWING(S) - The drawing shows a schematic view of the energy generating support member.    Chamber (1, 2)
