Investigation of Two-Stage Epicyclic Gearbox for an Automobile for Energy Regeneration

This paper identifies the problem of discharge of a battery because of the frequent operation of brake lights in an automobile. This problem is solved through the investigation of a two-stage epicyclic gear train for a vehicle. The revolving axis of certain gears in mesh with numerous gears at the same time and co-axiality of input and output shafts are all properties of the epicyclic gearbox, which is commonly used in tractors, high-speed gas turbines, and construction equipment. In order to regenerate the energy that is emitted during the process of braking, an epicyclic gearbox is used, which uses the emitted energy to regenerate energy and produce electricity using a dynamo. This electricity is used to illuminate the brake lights. The automatic brake light ignition system is developed using the process of regeneration. The existing system requires a charge from the battery present in an automobile, in order to make the automobile futuristic and efficient. A small gearbox has been developed that operates during the time of braking only. The article examines a regenerative braking system, a clear mechanism that includes a dynamo, a planetary gear system, and brake lights as one of the key parts, while keeping size and weight restrictions in mind. Kinetic energy is converted into elastic potential energy in this system. In the system, mechanical energy is transformed into electrical energy. This electrical energy is used in brake lights to operate them and can be fed to the battery itself to recharge it.
