Regenerative Braking - Explained

From the creator

What is regenerative braking? How do electric cars and hybrid cars regenerate power through braking? How does regenerative braking work? Regenerative braking is a fairly easy to understand concept, once one understands how motors work, and how generators work. Regenerative braking translates to energy savings, as it recovers kinetic energy. A motor can simply be reversed in order to generate electricity, acting as a generator to recharge a vehicle's battery pack. -- Related Videos -- Alternating Currents: http://youtu.be/Pv8WxPsJf4A KERS: http://youtu.be/QibB4DxkasQ Electric Cars: http://youtu.be/MWcmUgKP1GU -- Other Useful Videos -- Electric Motors: http://youtu.be/ErV5lGVso1w Magnets: http://youtu.be/7nhmJPMi4FU Electromagnets: http://youtu.be/1YSjRrijsRg DC Motors: http://youtu.be/kTkqbcesf10 Please feel free to rate, comment, and subscribe!
