4 day with no response? You deserve better.

If your input is a pure sinusoidal curve, you gain (some % of the wasted energy). But as soon as the input is chaotic the gain would disappear in the noise, as the magnets lose synch with the car body. Calculate the size of the magnets and coil to instantaneously absorb one pothole. Then divide by the % of time that instant is.
