A replacement battery in a hybrid system, Flywheel Hybrid System for Premium Vehicles

UK - A consortium succeeded in developing a hybrid system performance support tool nicknamed Flywheel Hybrid System for Premium Vehicles (FHSPV). Later, the system is also intended as a substitute for conventional batteries in hybrid technology.
 
The ability of the project is also supported by the UK government is demonstrated through the ARTEMIS system test cycle. Through this system, the device FHSPV which still form a 3D design can be seen its performance significantly.



In addition, devices that rely on stop and go system offers the mechanical power which is driven by the flywheel (flywheel) and capable of providing power to 80 hp.

The consortium was declared the technology is cheaper, lighter, compact and does not add to waste like batteries in hybrid systems today. Even this system is claimed to improve fuel efficiency up to 22.4 percent of regular gasoline vehicles.

Designed by Flybrid Systems, FHSPV made ​​from carbon composite materials and operate in a partial vacuum system, which allows it to spin up to 60,000 rpm. How it works FHSPV is to restore power through the rear differential lines and CVT transmission systems such as berdeselarasi DRS in Formula 1.

When tested, the device with a weight of less than 90 kg is mounted adjacent to the rear axle. So when this FHSPV can be mounted on the spare tire space.

While the parties who helped develop this system is, Xtrac and Torotrak on the transmission. Engineering consultant who handles the system configuration and integration by Prodrive and Ricardo. Car Affairs, the consortium is supported by Jaguar, Land Rover and Ford.
