Kinetic Energy Recovery System is the Flywheel Technology and Volvo using it. Here is brief information about KERS. What is Kinetic Energy Recovery System? Kinetic Energy Recovery System (KERS) is a regenerative braking which has an energy recovery mechanism or an automotive systems use under acceleration for kinetic energy of a moving vehicle when it is recovered from breaking and stored in a reservoir. When the car is under breaking process, i…
kinetic energy recovery systems - Johan Young Guides to Hybrid
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…
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…
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…
