F1 Kers System
A kinetic energy recovery system.
F1 kers system. From this season teams are allowed to use kers to draw 60 kw of energy from the rear axle on the car which can be stored up to. Although not used in 2010 kers made a return to the sport in 2011. The more efficient the kers system is the lower the heat losses with the renault f1 system achieving over 70 round trip efficiency from capturing energy at the rear axle converting it to electricity storing it in the battery pulling it out of the battery and then finally converting it to energy at the rear axle again. A race car in order to recover kinetic energy for future use.
Kinetic energy recovery system kers is an innovation introduced in formula one from the 2009 season to give cars a short term power boost on each lap.
