DEVICE FOR REGULATING SPEED AND RECOVERING BRAKING KINETIC ENERGY

DISPOSITIVO REGULADOR DE VELOCIDAD Y RECUPERADOR DE ENERGIA CINETICA DE FRENADO

Details are given of a device which not only regulates speed very simply but also enables part of the kinetic energy released by braking to be stored and reused later and considerably reduces the instant driving power required to restart the vehicle after braking. The system is particularly adaptable to urban transport vehicles, which have to start and brake frequently and the effective output of which would be greatly increased. (TRRL)
