Does pressing the pedal mechanically/hydraulically move spinning magnets on the hub nearer other magnets to create electricity?
In: Engineering
It’s a common (and understandable) misconception that the brakes themselves are doing the harvesting.
What happens is that the electric motor that drives the car basically goes into reverse. Instead of the battery sending electricity into the motor and making it turn, the battery ”sucks out” electricity from the motor which steals some of its energy, slowing it down.
