Kers (kinetic energy regeneration)

DCNISMO · 12-31-2012, 10:39 AM

Have KERS store electricity in a battery due from braking and then use that energy to power a electric motor to quickly spool up a turbo or supercharger system. Adding electric drive motors to the wheels or tranny would be a great experiment but very costly to do, and you would never mass produce it as a kit. That's why the oem have engineering staff.
