Abstract
Shock absorbers are used to dampen the vibrations of the vehicle to maintain ride comfort. The
energy associated with vibration of the vehicle dissipates in the form of heat from the shock
absorbers. Tapping this energy which otherwise going as a waste helps in maintaining the fuel
consumption and associated exhaust emissions. In this project it is aimed to design and construct
a simple mechanisms consisting of rack and pinion which convert oscillatory motion of the
suspension into unidirectional rotary motion, by connecting which to the generator, electricity
can be produced .The energy can be used for charging the battery. All the components like rack,
pinion, bevel gears, shaft etc. with proportionate dimension to fit in the shock absorber of a Sino
truck HOWO6X4 336HP Dump Truck Zz3257n3847A,are designed and a 3D model was
prepared using the CATIA. A prototype was prepared by assembling the components, which
were manufactured. The functionality of regenerative shock absorber was successfully
demonstrated.
