The Final Contract

Contract of Technology Project APPT6112

Project Name:
Harnessing the Wasted Energy in a Vehicle
Project brief:
Problem: Wasted kinetic energy through suspension movement in motor vehicles. Energy used up to drive the alternator contributes to engine inefficiency. The fact that modern gasoline engines have an average efficiency of about 18% to 20% when used to propel a vehicle, due to wasted energy. Solution: The project is to harness the wasted kinetic energy on vehicle suspension systems with the use of a ferromagnetic generator for power regeneration. At the same time it will reduce the existing engine work to turn the alternator, as well as energy loses through alternator heat dissipation. The generator will be attached to the shock absorber as a bolt on kit. To complement this system we will also design and construct a charging and battery management control circuit as a control module for the system. The generator will be constructed using copper wound on PVC pipe as a stator, and a permanent magnet as a rotor. The module will consist of several electronic components and Ic’s.
Agreed Outcomes:
To design, construct and analyze a supplementary charging system using a ferromagnetic generator. To design and construct a control module to manage the supplementary power generator system. To identify the overall charging rate produced by the ferromagnetic generator. To study the engine efficiency gained when incorporating the new system.
