Our project is about finding a new way for decreasing petroleum consumption in vehicles. Our aim is to minimize fuel consumption by changing the kinetic energy gained from the shock absorbers(which are placed between the tires and the body of the car) into electric energy by surrounding the shock absorbers with copper wires and placing magnets around them. Every time the shock absorbers move in a vertical direction to prevent damages to the car, electrical energy is gained. This energy is turned from alternate current into direct current and then is sent to the battery to be stored (thus eliminating the need of the dynamo which consumes fuel). Moreover, the electrical energy will be used to do electrolysis for water, releasing hydrogen gas that will be fed into a hydrogen engine to be burned, therefore decreasing overall fuel consumption in the main petroleum engine. To sum up ,the irregular shape of the ground where vehicles move, caused the motion in the shock absorber and this kinetic energy was converted into electrical energy. The result was the decrease of consumption of petroleum fuel.
