Calibrated Braking System Using Compressor Action With Deactivated Fuel And Ignition

INTRODUCTION
This project aims at providing a new method of Regenerative Braking, by deactivating fuel supply and ignition during periods of braking and providing a valve to divert the outlet air from the cylinder to a storage tank, acting as a reciprocating compressor. Energy is spent in compressing the air and hence, slows down the vehicle,
