摘要:Kinetic Energy Recovery System (KERS) is a system for recovering the moving vehicle's kinetic energyunder braking and also to convert the usual loss in kinetic energy into gain in kinetic energy.When riding a bicycle, agreat amount of kinetic energy is lost while braking, making start up fairly strenuous. Here we used mechanical kineticenergy recovery system by means of a flywheel to store the energy which is normally lost during braking, and reuse itto help propel the rider when starting. The rider can charge the flywheel when slowing or descending a hill and boostthe bike when accelerating or climbing a hill. The flywheel increases maximum acceleration and nets 10% pedal energysavings during a ride where speeds are between 12.5 and 15 mph.
