Regenerative Braking

11/08/2009 11:21 PM

Can someone please tell me about any information that is available on regenarative braking with the help of flywheel and hydraulic cylinders through internet or any particualr sight?

If the speed of light hasn't changed, why is it getting dark later?

the light is older, and gets to stay up later

Although I know the basics Of regenerative braking, I am more focused towards getting info about the braking using flywheels and hydraulic cylinders and related data if possible.

Re: Regenerative braking.

Have a look at the Formula 1 sites.

This year the F1 motor racing teams were allowed to use a system called KERS where the theory was that regenerative braking could be used to capture energy to store in the car for the driver to use at will. Down a long straight to overtake, for example.

There was a maximum - allowed or technology biased, unsure but it was heavy, however it was implemented. Only two teams out of 20, originally, took it up.

It was not the success that it could have been as there was insufficient time for technolgy to feed through for improved systems.

Weight turned out to be the key factor,

Go to the F! Web sites.

Good Luck

Have a klook at the web sites - just Googlem F!

patilrahuld

further to my earlier response, the only two teams that implemented KERS and hence regenerative braking were Ferrari and MacLaren.

Good Luck

"Flybrid" systems were used in F1.

Search here on CR4 for "UPS and hydraulics", "Fed X and hydraulics", "hydraulic regen" etc. We usually call hydraulic containers "tanks" or "accumulators" to avoid confusion with what we call "hydraulic cylinders" which are linear actuators with a piston, rod, and cylinder.

Hydraulic regen is especially appropriate for heavy vehicles, and ones that make many stops and starts (garbage trucks, delivery trucks) Quite a bit has been written here on CR4 about the advantages and disadvantages of hydraulic systems in comparison to electric systems. The main disadvantage of hydraulic systems is the low energy storage capability. Use "search all of CR4".
