Basics
- Often Abbreviated as KERS
- Essentially Regenerative Breaking but mechanical instead of electrical
- Done in Formula 1 Cars Mainly
- Can be done in bikes/human propelled vehicles
- Can be hydraulic, pnuematic, or flywheel based
- Flywheel methods use Clutchs to connect it when it is in the "store" state, and use a gear ratio to swap between charge and use cycles
- Hydraulic works well with large vehicles (very useful for stop and go vehicles like curbside collection)
- Can be done with Hydraulic Human Powered Vehicles
Use in Human Powered Vehicles
Mechanical
Hydraulic
