摘要：A regenerative brake is an energy recovery mechanism which slows a vehicle or object by convertingits kinetic energy into a form which can be either used immediately or stored until needed. The conventional brakesetup involves many energy loses and hence in our work, the conventional brake setup is replaced by mounting analternator assembly in the wheel hub. During the forward motion of the vehicle, the alternator’s rotor rotates freely.During the application of brakes, the input supply is given to the alternator and as a result the rotor coils provide arotational magnetic flux which cuts the stator conductor which is rotating along with the flywheel and hence an inducedvoltage is obtained from the alternator output which is stored in a battery. By increasing the alternator load theconductor gradually slows down and hence acts as a brake. The time required to stop the vehicle is directly proportionalto the load connected to the alternator. Then by increasing the diameter of the front wheel of the vehicle, the stability ofthe 2 wheeler can be improved as it modifies the rear suspension effect and provides more contact between the wheeland the ground during braking. The suspension action can also be utilized for any useful purpose by placing a pistonand cylinder arrangement having one-way valve lead to compressed air tank.
