Regenerative braking?
Really thats where u loose allot of energy.
If you have a Manual you can brake by shifting into gear which will turn the engine and the serpentine belt. Has anybody considered taking the AC compressor and completey making it serve a different purpose. It would compress air into a chamber. During acceleration from a stop, you would run the aircompressor in reverse. I dont think an AC compressor can run in reverse can it? I never use the ACcompressor anyway for its intended function. Or take the AC compressor out, install an electric generator which will charge a battery when activated by the brake pedal, and act as a motor during acceleration from standstill.
