dc.description.abstractWith today‘s need for better fuel economy and emissions reduction, hybrid technology has become increasingly popular. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is currently pursuing research in regenerative braking hydraulic hybrids which pressurizes fluid upon braking to partially power the vehicle. As a zero-emissions solution, the EPA has collaborated with ME450 students to apply this technology to a bicycle, attempting to fit the system in an average 26? size wheel. This semester, our goal is to fit the system into a 20? wheel while also reducing the weight by half. We will be adjusting internal components for weight, changing any part of the system to improve functionality, and improve the efficiency and manufacturability of the system.en_US
