ABSTRACT
General vehicle shock absorbers are used to simply absorb this energy without converting it
to electricity. So here we put forth a way to use this free energy and store it for further needs
such as vehicle lights, cooling, indicator lights etc. To achieve this we here use the principles
of electromagnetism in order to generate electricity from this motion. The power generator
electromagnetic suspension system is a system that converts vehicle bump generated linear
motion & vibration, into electricity to be used in battery charging .Our shock absorber is
made up of a metal shaft, spring, magnet, coils, base with screws and joints. It uses a coil
wound around in particular turning arrangement over the inner beam of the part. We use
cylindrical supports in order to minimize friction and ensure smooth generation. The head of
the absorber consists of magnets attached to outer core which are aligned with inner core to
ensure smooth motion while ensuring efficient generation. This arrangement is fitted with
springs in a precise Thus our system puts forward a smart power generation system using
electromagnetic suspension system.

INTRODUCTION
The power generator electromagnetic suspension system is a system that converts vehicle
bump generated linear motion & vibration, into electricity to be used in battery charging.
General vehicle shock absorbers are used to simply absorb this energy without converting it
to electricity. So here we put forth a way to use this free energy and store it for further needs
such as vehicle lights, cooling, indicator lights etc. To achieve this we here use the principles
of electromagnetism in order to generate electricity from this motion. Our shock absorber is
made up of a metal shaft, spring, magnet, coils, base with screws and joints.
It uses a coil wound around in particular turning arrangement over the inner beam of the part.
We use cylindrical supports in order to minimize friction and ensure smooth generation. The
head of the absorber consists of magnets attached to outer core which are aligned with inner
core to ensure smooth motion while ensuring efficient generation. This arrangement is fitted
with springs in a precise manner so as to achieve the desired motion and magnet coil
overlapping which allows for generation of electricity through electromagnetism principle.
Thus our system puts forward a smart power generation system using electromagnetic
suspension system.
