It appears I didn't post it, but I do remember making a three-phase bridge rectifier and capacitor filter and it did provide a decent amount of power (don't have the numbers though). |
Yes, I did see that one, but it kind of slipped my mind with so many other good threads. I don't thing for the millisecond of this regen it would be beneficial for adding any amount of energy back into the pack. The moment we use the brakes to slow down we basically loose more energy mainly because it will take more to get up to speed.
