A charging system performs several functions. These include:
1. It recharges the battery after engine cranking or after the use of electrical accessories with the engine turned off.
2. It supplies all of the vehicles electricity when the engine is running.
3. It must alter its output to meet varying electrical loads.
4. It provides a voltage output slightly higher than battery voltage.
Components:
1. Generator- Utilizes kinetic energy to generate electricity.
2. Voltage regulator- An electrical device which is used to control the current and output voltage of a generator.
3. Charge Indicator- A warning lamp, ammeter or voltmeter to inform the driver of the charging system condition.
4. Wiring Harness- Charging system wiring that connects system components.
5. Battery- Provides current
Unfortunately, we are unable to proceed with the charging circuit due to insufficient output from the generator. Well, I wish it shouldn't be a problem, since we have proved that the energy can be harnessed from the suspension. That is our main objective in this project.
