ENERGY GENERATION BY SUSPENSION SYSTEM

Regenerative Shock absorber is a type of suspension system that converts parasitic intermittent linear motion and vibration into useful energy, such as electricity. Conventional shock absorbers simply dissipate this energy as heat. 
In our project, we used shock absorber, rack & pinion arrangement and dynamo. As shock absorber effect formed, spring is compressed and linear movement of rack is converted in 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 leads to generation of energy.  And this energy is energy is used to charge the battery and this stored energy is used for different vehicle accessories like power window, lights and air conditioner etc. This energy is applicable in most of the military vehicles, race automobile and maximum suspension systems.
