i-ELOOP
í
i-ELOOP is a regenerative braking system. When you depress the brake pedal or use
engine braking, the kinetic energy that occurs is converted to electrical energy by the
power generator and the converted electrical energy is stored in the rechargeable battery
(capacitor and battery). The stored electricity is used as power to charge the battery and the
vehicle's electrical devices.
l
A variable voltage alternator is incorporated in the power generator which converts the
kinetic energy to electricity and can generate electricity efficiently according to the
vehicle conditions.
l
A capacitor is used to store large amounts of electricity instantly which can be utilized
quickly.
l
A DC-DC converter is incorporated which steps down the stored electricity to voltage
useable by the vehicle's electrical devices.
