Regenerative Braking Demo - Electric Bicycle

[veilofmaya123]

ahh.. dynamic braking.. my quiz for today :)

[MrEngrriz]

I am interested in doing this project. Could you please guide me about what things should i use for this project and the connections

@MrEngrriz

Hehe, looks like hes a genius and has his discovery patented.

Its easy, just do it with the guidance of someone who know mechanics and a little electrical knowledge and away u go! :)

[MrEngrriz]

@lucianarg30 lol ! Actually I am just a beginner, in second year of electrical engineering. That's why i am enthusiastic, need help.

how does the system work.

[kirbienstien]

alternator as a braking system, the friction stops wheel AND generates power at same time.

@finalwave29

he is using an alternator to hold back the wheel, similar to shifting to a lower gear on a gas fourwheeler holds it back and makes it suddenly stop. However, the energy from the wheel moving is recollected and put back in energy storage. In other words, its like, on a normal car, braking gives you some extra gas, so you can use that extra gas to get going again instead of wasting it to get ur car up to speed.
