Researchers from the University of Tokyo, as part of a multi-institution team, have now created an electromagnetic wave absorber for waves between 0.1–1 terahertz (THz).

The testing demonstrated that in typical driving conditions, traveling at a speed roughly equivalent to 45 mph (72.5 kph) the regenerative shock absorber was able to harvest 2-8 watts of power.

The regenerative electromagnetic shock absorber uses an electromagnetic linear generator to convert variable frequency, repetitive intermittent linear displacement motion to useful electrical power.

According to Tufts Journal, the technology is an electromagnetic linear generator, which converts energy that would otherwise be lost, into electrical energy that can help charge a vehicle’s ...

The new suspension is entirely electromagnetic, so can react much quicker than hydraulics. Externally, the new units don't look too different from your typical spring and shock unit, but inside ...

Since the unit size of typical metamaterial absorbers is 1/3 to 1/5 of the wavelength of the incident electromagnetic wave, you'd expect the unit size to increase in the long-wavelength range.
