6 FAQs about [Energy storage flywheel bicycle]

What is flywheel energy storage system?

This Flywheel Energy Storage system uses flywheel with suitable clutch mechanism along with sprocket and chains. The flywheel increases maximum acceleration and nets 10% pedal energy savings during a ride where speeds are between 13 and 15 mph. Further this concludes about efficiency and pedaling power in flywheel bicycle.

Does a flywheel save energy when braking a bicycle?

When riding a bicycle, braking consumes a significant amount of energy. We employed a mechanical kinetic energy recovery system with a flywheel to store energy that is ordinarily lost while braking and then reuse it to assist the rider in driving after a rest.

Can a flywheel be used as a kinetic energy recovery system?

IJIRSET, ISSN, 2319-8753. Ludlum, K. (2013). Optimizing Flywheel Design for use as a Kinetic Energy Recovery System for a Bicycle. Senior Theses, Pomona College, Claremont, California. Mugunthan, U., & Nijanthan, U. (2015). Design & Fabrication of Mechanism for Recovery of Kinetic Energy in Bicycle Using Flywheel.

How efficient is a flywheel bicycle?

The flywheel increases maximum acceleration and nets 10% pedal energy savings during a ride where speeds are between 13 and 15 mph. Further this concludes about efficiency and pedaling power in flywheel bicycle. KEYWORDS: KERS-kinetic energy recovery system, Flywheel, clutch mechanism.

What is a flywheel & how does it work?

Flywheel is used to store and release energy as kinetic energy. Riders can charge the flywheel when they slow down or slope down the mountain and lift the bike as they accelerate or climb the mountain. The proposed design is to simply implement the same concept of using the flywheel as an energy reservoir or energy storage device.

How does a bike drive a flywheel?

When the cyclist wishes to slow down, such as when they're going down a hill or coming to a stop, they shift the transmission to maximize the flywheel-speed-to-bike-speed ratio. This "charges" the flywheel with kinetic energy - effectively a mechanical version of what happens in an EV where a battery stores the scavenged energy.
