ABSTRACT
CHAPTER I
1 INTRODUCTION
When a conventional vehicle applies its brakes, kinetic energy is
converted to heat as friction between the brake pads and wheels.
This heat is transfers away in the weather and the energy is
effectively wasted. The total amount of energy lost in this way
depends on how often, how hard and for how long the brakes are
applied. Regenerative braking refers to a process in which a portion
of the kinetic energy of the vehicle is stored by a short term storage
system. Energy normally dissipated in the brakes is directed by a
power transmission system to the energy store during deceleration.
1.3 HISTORY
The “energy regenerative brake” system was developed in 1967 by
American Motors Corporation (amc) in co-operation with gulton
industries. The energy regeneration braking idea was later
commercialized by the japanese and the companies like Ford and
Chevrolet licensed it from toyota for use in their domestic built hybrid
vehicles. During the late 2000s, an electronic control unit used by
company BMW that engages the alternator during braking.
The main aim of this project was to develop a product that stores the energy
which is normally lost during braking, and reuses it. The use of regenerative
braking system in automobiles provides us the means to balance the kinetic
energy of the vehicle to some extent which is lost during the process of
braking. The regenerative braking system used in the vehicles satisfies the
purpose of saving a part of the energy lost during braking.
The drive to use less fossil fuel has Developed the design of engines,
transmissions and control systems for decades. Now, it is pushing the
development of completely different technologies for generating power.
In spite of all these truly marvelous improvements, the energy efficiency of
the most modern production car is still less than 20 percent. Most of the
energy used to move the vehicle at any speed over any distance is literally
thrown away as heat. About half of that wasted energy goes through the
brakes. Today, almost every manufacturer is developing ways to recover a
significant portion of that wasted energy with regenerative braking.

5 BRAKING
The term braking comes from the term brake. We know that brake is an
equipment to reduce the speed of any moving or rotating equipment, like
vehicles, locomotives. The process of applying brakes can be termed as
braking. i) mechanical braking and the ii) electrical braking. In
mechanical braking the speed of the machine is reduced solely by
mechanical process but electrical braking is far more interesting than that
because the whole process is depended on the flux and torque directions.

6 TYPE OF BRAKING
In this method when the braking is applied the motor acts as a generator
and it generates the power which can be utilized immediately or can be
stored for future use. This method is the most promising method of
braking and is explained in detail hence further.

10.2 SHAFT
A shaft is a rotating machine element, usually
circular in cross section, which is used
to transmit power from one part to another, or
from a machine which produces power to a
machine which absorbs power. The various
members such as pulleys and gears are mounted
on it. FIG :- SHAFT
10.3 FLYWHEEL
10.4 PULLY
A pulley is a wheel on an axle or shaft that is designed to support
movement and change of direction of a taut cable or belt along its
circumference. Pulleys are used in a variety of ways to lift loads, apply
forces, and to transmit power. In nautical contexts, the assembly of wheel,
axle, and supporting shell is referred to as a "block." A pulley may also be
called a sheave or drum and may have a groove or grooves between
two flanges around its circumference. The drive element of a pulley system
can be a rope, cable, belt, or chain that runs over the pulley inside the
groove or grooves.
10.7 SWITCH
In electrical engineering, a switch is an electrical component that can break
an electrical circuit, interrupting the current or diverting it from one
conductor to another. The mechanism of a switch may be operated directly
by a human operator to control a circuit. Switches are made to handle a
wide range of voltages and currents; very large switches may be used to
isolate high-voltage circuits in electrical substation
CHAPTER V
11 WORKING
12 DESIGN
With all of these considerations taken into account, the mass of the flywheel
should be as small as possible and should be distributed as much as possible
on the outer radius, then the radius should be made as large as can fit on the
bike, and the rest of the energy will be in the rotational speed, which
hopefully is not too high to get significant friction losses. First, the problem
of how much energy will be stored in the flywheel will be solved without
the complication of friction between the road and the bike.

16 FUTURE SCOPE
Regenerative braking systems require further research to develop a better
system that captures more energy and stops faster. As the time passes,
designers and engineers will perfect regenerative braking systems, so
these systems will become more and more common. All vehicles in
motion can benefit from these systems by recapturing energy that would
have been lost during braking process. Future technologies in
regenerative brakes will include new types of motors which will be more
efficient as generators new drive train designs which will be built with
regenerative braking in mind, the world needs is a method or a
technology that saves energy from getting wasted. Also it can be operated
at high temperature range and are efficient as compared to conventional
braking system.

CHAPTER IX
19 CONCLUSION
The energy efficiency of a conventional brake is only about 20 percent,
with the remaining 80 percent of its energy being converted to heat
through friction. The miraculous thing about regenerative braking is that
it may be able to capture as much as half of that wasted energy and put it
back to work. This reduces fuel consumption by 10 to 25 percent. Hence
regenerative braking plays an important role in fuel consumption and also
in the field of speed. Specific energy consumption reduces as frequency
of braking decreases and vice versa.
