(PhysOrg.com) -- Mazda has announced what it claims to be the worlds first capacitor based regenerative braking system, as a unique fuel-efficient solution for passenger vehicles. The system is called i-ELOOP, which stands for Intelligent Energy Loop. The concept is special because it makes use of a capacitor, not rechargeable batteries, to temporarily store energy captured from braking.
