Literature Survey Paper on Integrated Wheel – Hub Dynamo For Continous Battery Supplementation

As electric vehicles (EVs) become more popular, there is a growing need to use energy more efficiently and increase driving range. In most vehicles, a large portion of the energy produced at the wheels is lost as heat due to friction, which goes unused. This project introduces a smart solution in the form of a wheel–hub dynamo system that converts the rotational motion of the wheels into electrical energy through electromagnetic induction. Unlike traditional regenerative braking systems that only generate power during braking, this system works continuously while the vehicle is in motion. The electricity generated is then controlled using a voltage regulation circuit and fed back into the battery, helping to extend its charge. This reduces the need for frequent external charging and improves the overall efficiency of the vehicle. Additionally, the system is compact and can be integrated into the vehicle without major structural changes, making it a practical and sustainable solution.
