ABSTRACT: We have built a mechanism which is getting advanced. One of the problems we are
a regenerative shock absorber. When a vehicle facing in vehicles is power generation and more
undergoes a jerk, the shock absorber comes into consumption with limited resources. So we are

this technique we have generated electricity by engine and battery and the method is Power

Before this the shock absorber was just absorbing works while vehicle runs. We got our idea from
the shocks and jerks but now it generates electricity vibrations in the shock absorber, so we decided to
