Regenerative Braking System Project: Components

This document proposes a regenerative braking system that generates electricity each time the brakes of an electric vehicle are applied. The system uses a friction lining arrangement in a brake drum that activates motors connected to the lining to generate electricity when the brakes are pressed, using the motors as dynamos to charge the vehicle's battery. By capturing energy from braking that is normally lost as heat, this system aims to help address issues with electric vehicle battery charging times and availability of charging stations that are hindering widespread adoption of electric vehicles.

Regenerative Braking System Project

We are slowly reaching the age of electric vehicles. The major issue behind the
mass use of electric vehicles is the battery charging time and lack of charging
stations. So here we propose a regenerative breaking system. This system allows a
vehicle to generate energy each time brakes are applied. The stronger the brakes,
the more power is generated. We use friction lining arrangement in a brake drum.
As a drum rotates the friction lining does not tough the drum As soon as brakes
are applied, the friction lining touches the drum from inside and moves the
motors connected to lining in same direction, thus generating electricity using
motors as dynamo. Thus this system allows for charging car battery each time
brakes are applied, thus providing a regenerative braking system. It moves us
another step ahead towards a pollution free transportation system.

Components :
● Brake drum (which is attached to the wheels)
● Friction lining
● Electric generator (D.C.Motor)
● Linking mechanism

Advantages:
● Reduces fuel consumption
● Increases overall efficiency of vehicle by 33%
● Cut down pollution related to electricity generation
● Increases lifespan of friction braking system
