Kinetic Energy Recovery System Brief Information

he energy doesn’t change state. There is also hydraulic Kinetic Energy Recovery System. It works where braking energy is used to ‘collect’ hydraulic pressure and when it’s required, it will be sent to the wheels. But not all cars use KERS. Because it needs extraweight up to 25kg. It causes the raising of car’s center gravity and reduces the amount of ballast which is function to balance the car so when the car’s turning we can predictable more. …

Volvo Using Flywheel Technology – will Improve MPG by 20 percent

The Swedish automaker – Volvo – announced the test on the open road of flywheel technology during the second half of 2011. The flywheel technology, which provides a four-cylinder engine the acceleration of a six-cylinder unit, according to Volvo would decrease fuel consumption up to 20 percent. With this system of kinetic energy recovery system during braking next generation Swedish SKF developed and funded by the Swedish Energy Agency, the driv…

Alternative Energy-2

What is Alternative Energy – Part 2 There are many of alternative energy that we can harness if we want to save our Earth with a green technology. We can get away from the gasoline, old electrical grids, or other fossil fuels by turning to alternative energy. And in my previous article we have talk about WIND – SOLAR – OCEAN – HYDRO POWER. In this article I will explain the other; GEOTHERMAL ENERGY What is geothermal energy? Geothermal energy

Solar Energy Collecting as an Alternative Energy Source

According my previous articles – alternatives energy-1 and alternatives energy-2, there many different form in which alternative energy is available. And one of these alternative energy is solar energy. Solar energy is power by photovoltaic cells. Photovoltaic cells are getting less expensive (gradually) and also getting more efficient. This alternative energy can be used for heating, making hot water, electricity, and many more. In reality, so…
