I know that GEMS supposedly have regenerative braking, but can find NO real information about it..
I know, from prior experience, that series-wound DC motors are a REAL pain to set up for regen, but understand that it's a lot easier with the shunt-wound motors in GEMs. Wondering though, just HOW it works: Does the motor generate power at any time the car is going downhill "on compression", or must the brake be applied? Assuming that this is a function of the controller, is it programmable? How much power is produced? Does anything change if the governor is set to a higher speed, or with other re-programming of the controller? ANY info would be appreciated. |
