Power Generation using Vehicle Suspension

Regenerative shock absorber is a type of suspension system that converts parasitic intermittent linear motion & vibration into use full energy, such as electricity. Conventional shock absorber simply dissipate these energy as heat. In our project, we use shock absorber, rack & pinion arrangement and dynamo. As shock absorber effect formed, spring is compressed. Linear movement of crank is converted into the rotary motion due to pinion moves as the rack is meshed with pinion and the pinion is mounted on the shaft which is connected to shaft of dynamo due to this arrangement, rotary motion of pinion is used to rotate dynamo. As dynamo rotation led to generation of energy. And these energy is used to charge the battery and these store energy is use for different vehicle accessories like power window, lights & air conditioners etc. this energy applicable in most of the military vehicles, race automobiles & maximum suspension system.
