Abstract This report focusses on how energy waste from vehicle braking can be reuse.
Numerous varieties of solutions utilized in vehicles to cut back vehicle emission and therefore
the fuel consumption was designed. Many past design solutions for mechanical vehicle energy
recovery systems that used flywheels to collect Kinetic Energy (KE) have been shown. In the
type of hybrid electrical and electrical equipment, developmental developments in vehicle
manufacturing were addressed. Moreover models were developed for energy recovery devices
with car braking voltage storage and shock absorbing systems. An energy-storing device based
on a flywheel was demonstrated, as the advantages and inconveniences of both methods, their
limits on individual structures and safety issues were. In mechanical vehicles, the paper also
addresses the design principle of torsion springs are the most important components of energy
accumulation in the energy recovery system during braking. There was a suggestion of the
desirability of collaboration between the mechanical and existing recovery devices.
