Den generativa dämparen

Sammanfattning: It becomes more common with hybrid and electric vehicles around the world and in Sweden. These cars are becoming more and more effective with new sources of regenerative power such as the engine break. This prolongs the cars range which is making electric vehicles more and more competitive. So what is the next step when it comes to reusage of already used electricity? Is there more electric energy that we can reuse to help power the car? Each car has four dampers that absorbs momentum and converts it to thermal energy so that they can dampen its spring. If instead this movement would be turned into elektricenergy it could be stored to the battery or used by the car directly, just like the electric energy generated from the engine brake. The cars would be even more effective and get an even longer range. “Den generativa dämparen” will take advantage of this energy so it won’t go to waste. “Den generative dämparen” will dampen the springs momentum with induction charging. If this implementation succeeds in hybrid and electric cars big savings can be made. It’s estimated that Sweden, with this damper, can save 170 GWh each year in 2030.
