ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
Successful completion of any project is never on individual
effort, but team effort is needed for it. It is an immense pleasure
to express our sense of gratitude to all the people who have
extended their valuable help during the development of this
project.
We harbor a deep sense of oblige on to our guide Prof.
Mangesh Mohan, who has given ample ideas in the development
of the project and for the encouragement in the same. One of the
sweetest quality of sir which has really increased our respect
towards him is that he encourages all the new ideas. During the
course of project we cancel many project because we wanted to
do something best. But instead of scolding us, he always gave
new ideas and his own suggestion to that particular topic. And
today only because of his attitude we were able to bring our ever
rising developing into reality.
We have great pleasure in expressing our gratitude to our
principal N. M. Joshi sir for giving us such good opportunity
where we can develop our thinking capacity and bring our
imagination into reality.
We wish to express us a special word of thanks to the entire
staff of production department and our friends who always gave
helping hand to us.
ABSTRACT
A shock absorber is a device which absorbs shock which is
developed in automobiles. The energy required to damp these vibrations
is wasted in form of heat. Retrofit Regenerative shock absorbers fit with
the same arrangement and utilize this energy to increase the overall
efficiency of the system.
COMPONENTS
A Regenerative shock absorber consists of:
1. A rack and pinion arrangement to convert irregular vibrations into
oscillatory motion. The rack and pinion arrangement drives two bevel
gears which convert the bi-directional motion of the pinion into
unidirectional motion of the bevel pinion. The bevel pinion is coupled
to the motor shaft which will then generate electricity.
2. Casing:
It consists of a round and a hollow casing. This casing holds and
supports all the parts in it, the whole mechanism is mounted in the

5. Coupling Shaft
The coupling or the vertical shaft connected the bevel pinion
to the motor shaft.
For this purpose we manufactured an acrylic shaft on our
C.N.C. turning section in such a way that it press fit in the
internal diameter of the bevel pinion and external diameter
of the motor shaft.
6. Casing
The casing was made cutting P.V.C. pipes up to required
length.
7. Other parts :
All other parts listed below were available to us as
readymade standard parts:
a) Dowel pins.
b) Supporting plunger.
c) Bearing.
d) Motor.

CONCLUSION
An innovative implementation of the regenerative shock
absorber is introduced with high compactness and
improved efficiency. The roller clutches are eliminated
using improved shaft design embedded in a bevel gear and
the function of Unidirectional Motion is achieved with
two bevel gears. In addition, the mechanical-electrical
system of the regenerative shock absorber is modeled with
a circuit-based method to analyze the dynamic properties
of the system. Finally the shock absorber is characterized
with bench tests. The Shaft based design achieved a
mechanical efficiency of over 60% and no obvious
backlash effect. The simulation and experiment results
indicate that advantage of new design is more important
with higher input frequency, and the efficiency is higher
correspondingly.
