Adding a few electronic
motors generated an energy - efficient robot that could walk on level ground.
Both electric
motors generate energy under braking and store the energy in a super capacitor, rather than a battery.

Boosting the fuel efficiency of
motor vehicles by «harvesting» the
energy generated by their shock absorbers and feeding it back into batteries or electrical systems such as air conditioning has become a major goal in automotive engineering.
Those cars charge up their batteries with electricity
generated when the car brakes and then used that «recycled»
energy to power their electric
motors, which take over from the vehicle's gasoline engine at low speeds and in stop - and - go traffic.
That's because fermenting corn into ethanol delivers less liquid fuel
energy for internal combustion engines than does burning the kernels to
generate power for electric
motors.
For the first time, scientists found that in spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), the affected nerve cells that control muscle movement, or
motor neurons, have defects in their mitochondria, which
generate energy used by the cell.
To salvage some of that
energy, the team added a regenerative braking system: when the driver's foot is removed from the accelerator, the electrical connections are reconfigured so that instead of electricity going from the batteries to turn the
motor, the
motor generates electricity that flows back through the inverter to recharge the batteries.
And most agree that the «series» hybrid - one in which the heat engine
generates only electricity to supply a traction
motor or an
energy storage device and is not directly linked to the driveline - appears to be the most practical hybrid arrangement.
In practical use, this advanced hybrid technology impresses with low consumption and emission figures, but high performance: the electric
motor is able to replace or support the combustion engine and makes use of
energy generated while braking by converting it into electric
energy, storing it and reusing it.
It captures the kinetic
energy generated while braking, stores it in a compact battery pack, and feeds it to a small
motor attached to the side of the internal combustion engine.
The full - size luxury SUV has a number of fuel - saving tricks up its sleeve too, including an ability to heat the cabin by leeching the excess thermal
energy generated by the electric
motor and the automatic transmission can disengage from the drivetrain, enabling a free - wheeling mode.
Energy is
generated by the electric
motors when decelerating or by the gasoline engine when the Porsche's computer deems it necessary.
A separate generator
motor is driven by the gasoline engine to
generate electric
energy to drive the propulsion
motor when the vehicle is operating in Hybrid Drive Mode.
If the driver removes his or her foot from the accelerator or brakes when the battery is not sufficiently charged, both electric
motors work as generators and feed the
energy generated during braking to the lithium - ion battery.
They use an electric
motor or alternator to
generate electricity as the vehicle decelerates, thereby recovering a portion of the vehicle's kinetic
energy.
Motor / Generator 1 (MG1) is used to start the gasoline engine and
generate the
energy returned to the battery to power the system.
Advantage over conventional fuel cell cars: Thanks to the electric
motor, the GLC can also gain
energy generated during braking.
When the driver takes his or her foot off the accelerator pedal or brake and the battery is insufficiently charged, both electric
motors work as generators and feed the
energy generated during braking into the battery.
First of all, it is important to know that
generating electricity is far from the most efficient way to apply pedal power, due to the internal
energy losses in the battery, the battery management system, other electronic parts, and the
motor / generator.
Industry has employed
motors in high ambient temperature conditions before, the technology exists, and the
energy generated on braking will be stored or shed elsewhere thus I do not anticipate great temperatures at the wheel
motors.
Stores
energy generated from regenerative braking and provides supplemental power to the electric
motor
Because these cars are programmed to start the gasoline
motor to
generate energy for features within the car, the car may restart the
motor to do something such as heat or cool the cabin of the car.
