Unlike the regenerative shock absorber system designed by MIT researchers that uses the up and down movement of the suspension to drive an external hydraulic motor the mechanical engineers built ...

Now students at MIT have developed a regenerative shock absorber that is a cross between those two. The MIT regenerative system is based around a hydraulic ram the replaces a standard shock ...

And MIT researchers have worked out a new way to include regeneration into your auto--by designing regenerative shock-absorbers. Shock Absorbers Go Alt-Fuel Green Thanks to MIT "Regenerative" is ...

A team of undergrads at MIT-- led by Shakeel Avadhany and Zack Anderson -- has produced a prototype of a shock absorber for vehicles which can harness and generate electricity back into the vehicle.

The regenerative shock absorber uses the oscillations of a vehicle's suspension to generate electricity. Its inventors claim a heavy-duty truck using six of their GenShock shock absorbers can ...

Scientists at Tufts University have patented a shock absorber that converts compressive energy into electricity, which can then be stored in a hybrid vehicle’s batteries. Called the Power ...

The typical shock absorber changes the excess energy into heat which is absorbed by shock oil (i.e. it's wasted). The regenerative shock absorbers could theoretically be combined with regenerative ...

And MIT researchers have worked out a new way to include regeneration into your auto–by designing regenerative shock-absorbers. BY Kit Eaton 2 minute read “Regenerative” is one hot ...

Senior Shakeel Avadhany and his teammates say they can produce up to a 10 percent improvement in overall vehicle fuel efficiency by using the regenerative shock absorbers. AM General, the company that ...
