[quote=Chew;188789]Yes, it can be done, however, according to the
law of conservation of energy, you may only capable to recover about 10% of the total energy from the battery. Unless you always going downhill, that would be possible to recharge your battery pack from the regenerative process. In a simple word, there must be always an energy lost such as friction, heat, vibration, sound, etc that cannot be recovered.
Interesting point of view, I'm new to this and still running all this new information through my head yet one of the idea's I would like to try is a permanent magnet generator.
