Great Presentation - Very Informative of e-Assist - a remarkable technology designed to capture & recover energy that is normally lost in the form of heat during braking and use that energy to assist in powering the vehicle. The result? Much improved fuel economy & increased service life of the brakes. Every vehicle should have e-Assist - it offers the improved mpg of a full hybrid at far lower cost.
@WeberAuto. Yes ! That makes perfect sense now! Thanks for the follow up. Your first response made sense also, but it didn't seem like the residual magnetism would contribute that much energy to matter much. Thanks again for the video.
@TheDerfixer Hi, a colleague forwarded me an article on this topic. If the engine drives the rotor faster than the synchronous frequency of the stator, the rotor will still have induced magnetism, but as it collapses it will induce reverse current in the next stator poles as it cuts across them causing current to go back to the converter and battery. The stator never quits trying to drive the rotor at the calculated synchronous speed, but sometimes the engine drives the rotor faster than that.
Excellent video! Answers many of the questions I had. At 4:38, the inverter would go from DC to AC and the converter (rectifier) would go from AC to DC.
Great video - when I become Supreme Ruler of the world, I might just decide to spare you!

When I bought my laptop 2 years ago I had no ideal I would be learning stuff like this. Thank you.

I want to get an entire e-assist system and make a hell of a electric go-kart out of it!

@Telcom100 You are correct, my mistake. Thank you for the heads up.
