PRINCIPLE
This Works On Up And Down Movement Of Shock Absorber.
WORKING
Whenever the vehicle experiences a jerk, the suspension moves down. The free
rod also moves down along with the suspension, which in turn results in the
downward rolling motion of the shaft over the rubber strip.

As the shaft rotates, the coil inside the dynamo also rotates which results in the
generation of induced electricity.

The electricity that is generated, passes to the bridge rectifier via the
connecting wires from the dynamo.

The bridge rectifier converts the Alternating Current to the Direct Current.

This current can be used for lightening of bulbs or it can also be stored in a
capacitor.
Road Tests

@ 48
km/hr
ADVANTAGES
Since the weight of the system is very less, it does hampers
with the momentum of the vehicle. Therefore, more power is
produced from a comparatively lesser energy.

Since it is a case of rolling motion, and we know that the


coefficient of rolling friction is less, hence there is no
significant loss in the energy.

In this, the diameter of the dynamo is about 3 cm. if this


diameter is further reduced, then more amount of energy can
be produced due to greater number of rotations.

Energy is produced near the speed breakers as well as near


ditches on even slightly uneven roads.
D I S A D VAN TAG E S
System is the costly
If system breakdowns its very difficult and
costly affair to repair it
The system is verycomplex
Requires high precision machineryand
skilled workers to manufacture
Further modifications
The number of dynamos used can be increased.

The capacity of dynamo can be increased.

The diameter of dynamo can be decreased.

Gear system can be introduced so that efficiency can be increased.


CONCLUSION
A larger magnetic field will be necessary if more power needs to be generated.

Conversion of energy produced by a vehicle shock absorbers movements into electrical


energy, allows a significant fuel saving.

It is possible to obtain a fuel saving between 1.5 and 6%, depending on


the vehicle and on the driving conditions. Moreover, the researchers say
that this system can improve the stability of the vehicle.

Regenerative braking harvests large amount of power in a very short


time, in an intermittent manner, Lie Zuo said. However, the
regenerative shock absorbers can harvest the power in a continuous
way. On the smooth highway road, the electric shock absorbers can
improve the fuel efficiency by 2%, and on bumpy roads up to 10%
increase can be expected.

More researchers are going on to extend the tests involving other types
of vehicles such as trucks, buses and other automotive vehicles
