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.
