Not exact matches

The battery will also serve as a storage medium for a regenerative braking system that will recoup braking energy that is otherwise lost to friction.

e.g., (i) degraded combustion, if any, (ii) momentum in the moving engine parts prior to the clutch plate, (iii) momentum due to the physical displacement of the vehicle, (iv) friction due to movement of the vehicle, of which air resistance is one component, (v) dissipation of kinetic energy in the compression stroke, and (vi) braking.

The higher compression ratio in diesels means they are harder to start, but once they are running the energy expended in compressing air is regained during the expansion stroke when the compressed air is allowed to «spring» back, so the higher compression ratio causes negligible engine braking via energy being lost as friction and heat of compressed air to engine block.

This contrasts with conventional braking systems, where the excess kinetic energy is converted to unwanted and wasted heat by friction in the brakes, or with dynamic brakes, where energy is recovered by using electric motors as generators but is immediately dissipated as heat in resistors.

The low - friction design of the brake calipers reduces energy losses when the brakes are not in use, directly improving fuel efficiency.

I found this mode a bit odd at first, but after a few trips I learned to love how it encouraged me to use the energy regen more than the friction brakes.

The cylinder barrels and the chain drive have been optimized to minimize friction, the oil pump operates on demand, and a recuperation system recovers energy during coasting and braking.

Both disc brakes and drum brakes work by using friction and resistance to convert kinetic energy into heat energy.

The engine and the entire drivetrain have been optimized to minimize friction, the oil pump operates on demand, and an energy - recovery system conserves energy during coasting and braking.

Low friction engine technology has the same aim, as does an alternator that is charged with brake energy recuperation where possible.

The regenerative brake system captures the energy normally lost through friction in braking and stores it.

Nearly 94 percent energy recovery is achieved by first delivering full regenerative braking followed by friction brakes during city driving.

Hard braking can cause the system to rely on conventional friction braking, wasting energy that might otherwise be recovered.

If the battery fills up due to regenerative braking in B the car will dissipate the energy by using the generator to spin the gas engine (known as «engine braking») rather than using the friction brakes on the wheels.

Nearly 94 percent energy recovery is achieved by delivering full regenerative braking, which means only 6 percent of braking is through traditional friction brakes

The low - friction design of the brake calipers reduces energy losses when the

On the way down, in a conventional car, you lose all that energy — it just [disappears] out the window or to your brake shoes, to friction.

This provides energy to be used later and decreases both friction and heat, along with wear on brake pads, which means they last longer.
