The Study of the KERS Flywheel Sealing
Last modified: 2018-07-13
Abstract
The KERS System is used for storing the vehicle’s kinetic energy under breaking. The huge rate of rotations per minute (rpm) of a flywheel, of about 50.000 rpm requires the placing of the flywheel into a vacuum containment. This paperwork presents practical solutions of the sealing process of a flywheel made of carbon fiber and placed into a vacuum containment.
