Propeller Shaft Energy Recovery: A Pathway to Sustainable Power Generation
Abstract: A vehicle, such as a large truck, can produce electricity for powering a hybrid engine or recharging batteries by using an electricity-generating driveshaft. The driveshaft that generates electricity is composed of coils of copper wire that wrap around the magnetised driveshaft, which acts as the rotor of a generator for electricity. The magnetised driveshaft rotates as the hybrid car moves, producing an electrical field that copper wire coils catch and …
