Abstract
This invention relates to an electrical regenerative brake (100) with a rotating brake coil (10) which is mounted on a wheel (14) of a vehicle, whereby a magnetic field (18) is fed in the coil (10). In order to allow effective regenerative braking (100) at low speeds and to provide a significant increase in power saving, this invention proposes that the permanent magnet (13) producing the magnetic field (18) is placed in the inner space of at least one additional coil (11, 12), whereby the brake has an electric circuit (22) which contains the rotating brake coil (10) and the additional coil (11, 12) as elements.
