Abstract
The invention disclosed herein consists of an active electromechanical suspension and power generation system using an accelerometer connected to a controller. The electromechanical suspension consists of a geared motor and spring, which are used to isolate the vehicle chassis from the wheel, with the motor also functioning as a generator. The controller uses a 3-axis accelerometer's data to determine which direction to turn the motor and when to turn it.
