During the everyday usage of an automobile, only 1016% of the fuel energy is used to drive the carto overcome the resistance from road friction and air drag. A conventional automotive shock absorber dampens suspension movement to produce a controlled action that keeps the tire firmly on the road. This is done by converting the kinetic energy into heat energy, which is then absorbed by the shocks oil.

This is the important loss is the dissipation of vibration energy by shock absorbers in the vehicle suspension under the excitation of road irregularity and vehicle acceleration or deceleration.
In this project we will develop the power generating shock absorber which can efficiently recover the vibration energy in a compact space.

We are working on power generating shock absorber system , which works on the principal of electromagnetic induction system. In this system a magnetic rod is pass through the stationary copper coil in linear direction through vibration which is generated by road irregularity ,which generate electricity to charge our vehicle equipment to save power and cost.

The magnetic flux B from the magnet assembly radially penetrates each coil section over the height of the magnet. Therefore emf V (volt) generated by a conductor of length L (m) in the form of coils with n turns moving in a constant magnetic field B (T), at a constant velocity v (m/s) according to above law is V= n.B.v.L

The permanent magnets NdFeB (grade N32)

Copper wire of diameter 0.5 mm have to wound coils because of its superior conductivity and low resistivity.

A multimeter have to used to measure current output and voltage output.

The device consists of two components a hollow coil assembly and a magnet assembly that uses vibrational energy from the vehicles suspension to move up and down inside it. The magnet assembly is made of ring-shaped permanent magnets and ring-shaped high magnetically permeable spacers(Si3N4).stacked on a rod of high reluctance material.

Like-poles of adjacent magnets facing each other to help push the magnetic flux outward outer cylinder made of high magnetically permeable material derlin or Polyoxymethylene (POM).

Range of Magnetic flux(B) for neodymium magnet : Max value = 1.38735 T. Min value = 0.000458782 T Avg. Value = 0.69390 T Formula Used :
V = n.B.v.L

Here, L = 40 mm = 0.04 m. n = 62 v = 60 km/hr. = 16.6 m/s. B = 0.69390 T. Therefore,

V = 28.66 volts.

Power Generated = 2-8 W.
