When you drive down the road your car has kinetic energy, when you brake that kinetic energy is mostly converted into heat energy why is why fast cars need to keep thier brakes cool.
In most cars that heat energy is wasted, but in a KERS equipped car that is not the case. When the driver brakes most of the kinetic energy or rotational force is still converted to heat energy but a portion is treated differently and is stored up in the car. When the driver presses his boost button that stored energy is converted back into kinetic energy and under the current F1 regulations gives the car about an extra 85bhp for just under seven seconds.
The following short video from Red Bull walks through the process amongst other new regulations. This MGU converts the kinetic energy into electrical energy which is then stored in batteries. They are young, passionate, full of imagination and energy. They spend most, if not all, of their spare time working on single-seat race cars, dreaming of su According to some observers, self-driving vehicles could be delivered to us without a steering wheel by Is this a true picture?
If the technology is he Audi announced that its R18 race car will be equipped with a digital rearview mirror connected to a tiny, lightweight camera mounted on the roof, just behind Favourite added temporarily.
To add it to your profile, you will need to sign in. The resulting MGU is very small as it is active only during braking and for six or so seconds of acceleration, while for the rest of the lap it can relax and dissipate the heat generated in the active moments. What does KERS mean for the fans? Well, the additional 60kW boost which equates to 80HP , limited to kJ per lap, will reduce lap times by between 0.
But to get the most from KERS, the whole system needs to be as lightweight and compact as possible; otherwise this advantage can quickly disappear. In reality, though, there are other more subtle effects that get in the way of achieving the theoretical 0. The mechanical implementation, shown in Fig. To harvest the energy upon braking, the system uses the braking energy to turn a flywheel which acts as the reservoir of this energy.
When needed, the redelivery of the energy is similar to that of the electric KERS implementation, the rotating flywheel is connected to the wheels of the car and when called upon provides a power boost. The mechanical implementation of KERS is known to be more efficient than the electric equivalent due to the fewer conversions of the energy that are taking place. The implementations are similar to that what is used by hybrid passenger cars.
The main difference is that in a hybrid car, the redelivered energy replaces the purpose of the engine and powers the car entirely. In Formula 1 this would be infeasible. Instead the energy is used in addition to the current engine. The CVT subsequently handles the ratio of the torque provided by the motor connected to the engine and the torque from the flywheel.
The obvious benefit of KERS is the boost provided.
