It also controls the electric motor, so that kinetic energy is transformed
into electrical energy during coasting and when braking.
Not exact matches
At
electrical breakdown, the
energies in the surging electrons were thousands of times greater than 10 — 19 MeV, so
during the flood, bremsstrahlung radiation released a sea of neutrons throughout the crust.83 Subterranean water absorbed many of these neutrons, converting normal hydrogen (1H)
into heavy hydrogen (2H, called deuterium) and normal oxygen (16O)
into 18O.
Thanks to recuperation, the lithium - ion battery charges while driving:
During braking and rolling, the VISION X converts kinetic
energy into electrical energy and uses this
energy later for driving.
During the coasting and braking phase, the alternator can convert the kinetic
energy into electrical energy that is stored temporarily in the battery.
Events such as negotiating towns on the way to the destination are taken
into account when planning the available
electrical energy, and
during recuperation and thermal conditioning of the drive components.
When the Insight is coasting or its brakes are applied, and the vehicle is in gear, its electric - assist motor becomes a generator, converting forward momentum
into electrical energy, instead of wasting it as heat
during conventional braking (vented front disc / rear drum brakes are still the main means of braking).
Overrun, or the so - called regeneration phase, is one of the most important instruments of this vehicle concept for optimizing efficiency as it transforms the braking
energy released
during deceleration phases back
into electrical energy, instead of it being wasted and released as heat.
Additionally, when the driver applies the brakes
during everyday driving, the A8 converts a large percentage of the braking
energy — normally lost in the form of heat —
into electrical energy for future use.
Overrun, or the regeneration phase as it is known, is one of this vehicle concept's most important instruments for optimising efficiency: the braking
energy released
during deceleration phases is transformed back
into electrical energy instead of it being released as heat and wasted.
For the first time, the model will also be equipped with a regenerative braking system which converts kinetic
energy into electricity
during braking and stores it in capacitors for use later in powering
electrical equipment such as air conditioning, lighting, and the audio system.
«Porsche By Design» will end with a 2010 version of the GT3R hybrid race car prototype, which uses a flywheel
energy storage system to convert kinetic
energy created
during braking
into an
electrical current, supplementing the 670 - horsepower gasoline - powered flat six engine.
