Message definition (Rheostatic & Regenerative Brake)

The way the rheostatic and regenerative systems differ, is that rheostatic braking passes the generated electricity through powerful resistors (rheostats), which generates heat, dissipated into the atmosphere by powerful fans. Regenerative braking, on the other hand, instead of turning electricity into heat, feeds it back to the {{pll|Electric Powersource|grid}}, or recharges the {{pll|Electric Powersource|onboard batteries}}.

On electric vehicles, instead of being turned into heat, the generated current may be recouped to the grid or the onboard batteries. This is called regenerative braking. Nevertheless, the working principles of the two braking systems are quite similar.
