has anyone ever implemented a regenerative braking generator for a bike? seems like a good way of using that excess energy that gets burnt off when i brake, and it won't use precious power when i'm going uphill/against the wind my bike and me weigh about 100kg, so even at 5.5m/s (20km/h), the battery would get a 1500J hit slowing me down to a stop. maybe smoothing capacitors would be needed _______________________________________________ OpenMoko community mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
