1. A device for installation within or on a structure for transferring kinetic energy from a load moving across the structure to a pneumatic or hydraulic system, the device comprising:
at least two adjacent rockers, each rocker in the at least two adjacent rockers having an upper surface for passage of the load; and
at least one cradle supporting the at least two adjacent rockers within or on the structure,
wherein each rocker in the at least two adjacent rockers is pivotally and slidably mounted to at least one of (i) another rocker in the at least two adjacent rockers, and (ii) the at least one cradle,
wherein the at least one cradle houses at least one compressible pneumatic or hydraulic pipe disposed between the at least two adjacent rockers and the at least one cradle,
wherein application of the moving load to the upper surfaces of the at least two adjacent rockers provides a rolling motion on the at least one compressible pneumatic or hydraulic pipe.
