Design & Fabrication of Regenerative Shock Absorber
Abstract
In today’s entire world is surrounded by corbon which is mainly responsible for global warming. This is because Fossil fuels are being consumed with very fast rate and there is necessity of in-built alternative energy source which can fulfill the energy requirement of vehicle. Even though a wide experimentation has done on IC engine efficiency optimization but there is a still wide scope for regeneration of energy through regenerative shock absorber system and so on. Even though reciprocating distance is very low but the suspending mass is very high I.e. the mass of total vehicle. Utilization of this reciprocating motion of shock absorbers and high suspending mass of vehicle can be possible and accordingly thought process has initiated. In the experimental model, A small gearbox is attached to alternator of automobile and due to reciprocating motion of shock absorbers when vehicle will pass through a dump or pit, electricity has generated of about 13 volts for 500kg to 2000kg loading range for 100 kilometer distance travelled and about vertical lift (up and down motion of about 10mm) and after implementation it has found that fuel economy can be optimized by 3.5 % as batteries are replaced by Regenerative shock absorber system.
