who generate energy with recycled water?

The sixth-semester students also stressed that the vehicle has a lights system , and electronic engine system , and four lead-acid batteries that reach an electric tension from 48 volts to 20 amperes , which allows it to have a speed of up to 33 km per hour .

The go-kart operates by absorbing energy through its solar panel, however, it also charges through its brake system and its suspension; this is possible because the mechanic energy generated by motion turns, first, into kinetic energy and then, into electricity .
