1. A system for generating energy in response to a movement of a vehicle, the system comprising:
an energy recovery mechanism configured to receive energy from the rotation of a component of the vehicle;
an energy storage electrically coupled to the energy recovery mechanism and configured to store the energy as electrical energy;
a motor electrically coupled to the energy storage and configured to receive a portion of the electrical energy;
a generator electrically coupled with the energy recovery mechanism and the energy storage; and
a controller in communication with the energy recovery mechanism, the energy storage, and the motor, wherein the controller further communicates with a driver of the vehicle, wherein the controller receives data from one or more of the energy recovery mechanism, energy storage, generator, and motor, wherein the controller transmits instructions to the energy recovery mechanism to change a total amount of energy received from the rotation of the vehicle component in response to the received data or an instruction from the driver, and wherein the controller transmits instructions to the energy recovery mechanism to control a ratio of angular velocity between the energy recovery mechanism and a rotational member of the generator in response to the received data or an instruction from the driver.
