i was looking at the hydrolic regen braking and it kind of bugs me how it doesn't use the hydrolic pump for all the braking i mean if you had a way to increase the speed of the pump so it's in the most efficent speed and there was really no need to use the brakes then that would be best but the pump is stuck at what ever gearing you have at the beginning, so i was thinking that if you got a gear set( i forget the name of the set of gears that has the orbital gear, planetary gear and the stationary gear???) you attach the orbital gear to the axle, the hydrolic pump to the stationary gear and have the planetary gears run another pump that you have a restrictor on so that when it's ingaged the restrictor slows the pump attached to the planetary gears putting power to the hydrolic pump and keeping a constant amount of pressure on the axle for braking it should also increase the hydrolic regen braking systems efficency i think????
