Paper Details

The function of vehicle suspension system is to support the weight of vehicle body, to isolate the vehiclechassis from road disturbances, and to enable the wheels to hold the road surface. A magnetic shock absorber whichmakes use of the magnetic repulsion between dipoles to achieve shock absorption, the suspension system consists ofmagnets freely moving inside the cylinder with their same poles facing each other. Since the magnetic poles repel eachother while moving closer, the up and down spring action is obtained. This shock absorber will eradicate the problemsfaced in the spring shock absorbers due to friction and other factors. This will also reduce the maintenance costs as itdoes not need repairing, changing of springs or dealing with leakage problems as in spring or oil shock absorbers. Thismagnetic shock absorber can be used in vehicles carrying heavy or less load. Presented in this paper the method aimedat determining the effectiveness of efficiently transforming suspension energy into electrical power by using regenerativemagnetic shock absorbers. In turn, the electrical power can be used to recharge batteries or other efficient energystorage devices rather than be dissipated.
