How Electric Motors Work
http://electronics.howstuffworks.com/motor1.htm
“An electric motor is all about magnets and magnetism: A motor uses magnets to create motion. If you have ever played with magnets you know about the fundamental law of all magnets: Opposites attract and likes repel.”
Braking
http://energyeducation.ca/encyclopedia/Braking
“Removing the kinetic energy can be accomplished by dissipating the energy to the atmosphere through friction or by converting it into another form of energy. The most common type of braking is a mechanical brake which inhibits motion through friction brake pads. “
How Regenerative Braking Works
http://auto.howstuffworks.com/auto-parts/brakes/brake-types/regenerative-braking.htm
“At present, these kinds of brakes are primarily found in hybrid vehicles like the Toyota Prius, and in fully electric cars, like the Tesla Roadster. In vehicles like these, keeping the battery charged is of considerable importance. However, the technology was first used in trolley cars and has subsequently found its way into such unlikely places as electric bicycles and even Formula One race cars.”
