The Wheel, Reinvented™. The Wheel was invented over 5,000 years ago. ............................. Today 2 (two) Billion vehicles operate on world's roads on the same old-kind of wheels - ones being pushed. ................................ ReWheel - Recovering Energy Wheel -reinvents a wheel to become a Self Propelled Green Engine.
ReWheel Technology Overview
ReWheel captures, stores, and reuses energy directly within the vehicle’s
wheel—without drawing from the existing fuel or electric charge systems.
To decelerate the vehicle, ReWheel converts its kinetic energy (see [1])
into potential energy, storing it inside the ReWheel device (see [2]).
Unlike traditional regenerative braking, which depends on the vehicle’s motor, battery, and drivetrain, ReWheel is a fully self-contained system operating entirely within the wheel. It requires no changes to the vehicle’s powertrain and is more efficient, especially in stop-and-go conditions.
This makes ReWheel a uniquely independent, retrofittable, and universally compatible energy-saving solution.
This makes ReWheel compatible with all vehicle types—whether powered by
internal combustion engines (ICE), electricity, hydrogen, ammonia, or any
future propulsion system.
For ICE vehicles, ReWheel improves city-driving fuel economy by an average of 56%, and by 38% overall, resulting in proportional reductions in carbon emissions.
For EVs, ReWheel complements existing regenerative braking, delivering an
additional 32% energy savings in urban driving, and 22% overall.
Since electricity generation for EVs may still rely on fossil fuels, these energy savings also result in proportional reductions in CO₂ emissions.
Beyond reducing refueling and recharging costs, ReWheel also extends the lifespan of the vehicle’s native braking system, which becomes a secondary, a backup, system.
ReWheel installation is as simple as replacing a wheel. It can be implemented on both new vehicles and the 2+ billion vehicles currently on the road worldwide.
Scientific Basis
[1] Kinetic energy is proportional to a vehicle’s mass and the
square of its speed.
[2] During deceleration, ReWheel converts kinetic energy into stored
potential energy. During acceleration, the process reverses, releasing the
stored energy to assist movement.
ReWheel is based on two core physical principles:
- Inertia — the universal resistance to changes in energy states. This principle enables energy capture within ReWheel.
- Conservation of Energy — energy cannot be created or destroyed, only converted from one form to another.
