How it works
The same magnet that the carrier already moves can pass a generator coil.
Induced current charges a small store or feeds the opposing coil on the next shot.
This is not a power plant. It is enough for sensors, a pulse driver, or to offset the active-brake budget.
Faraday’s law: emf = −N dΦ/dt. Recoil is a one-way stroke with a known mass and speed. Energy recovered is a slice of the buffer’s kinetic energy, not free power.
