I see major repair bills - especially in the early stages of the technology. One trip to the garage cancels all the "savings" on gas for the life of the car. Call me skeptical..
@feszni i dont understand what this video is trying to explain exactly, but if this application does not care what direction the wheel spins, you can put another wheel parallel and spin it in the opposite direction. i think that cancels out most of the gyroscopic effects.
@arkadyaminev Точно. отбросил эту идею лет 7 назад именно из-за громоздкости пружинного аккумулятора который по расчетам д.быть размером с бочку.. Газобаллонный накопитель тоже не фонтан - при сжатии газа будет куча энергии уйдет в его нагрев и потребуется мощная теплоизоляция. вакуумная пружина еще туда-сюда но тогда надо мощную раму чтоб тачку не смяло в гармошку.
I am with tf73ky on this. it seems that the springs are only a piece of the equation. I don't believe our energy demands can be met by any one means alone. Throw some flywheels in there.
@TheMadninjamike You got the idea: Do think in flywheel energy storage :) 500 kJ/kg. Tousand times more efficient than springs. A 1 pound flywheel could store the whole energy of 1 braking.
If we wanted to store energy in springs, that would need very heavy springs. Just a simple formula: 500 Joule/kg is the maximum storable energy in steel springs.
I was thinking to transform the kinetic energy into the electrical energy and then store it in my battery.. so i can use it for my electric vehicle... :)
@SuperBashory dood you have the energy stored in a much more efficient medium where it is all ready...Chemical batteries are far less capable of efficiently storing and releasing energy in both life cycle and charge and discharge rates. This says nothing for the bi-products of both producing and disposing of said chemical batteries. Flywheel systems...this is where folks need to start paying attention. You can still pull out electricity on demand if you are capable of a perspective change
The idea of converting braking power into kinetic energy is easy to conceive, but to actually materialize the idea in a working model takes a genius. I would like to know if this design already has a real world application? Put this thing in a bicycle, it will be phenomenal.

Impressive tech but it's not relevant to the future. I prefer a simple in-wheel electric motor.

@peterweetbeter This is much more efficient than electricity :-)

Spinning flywheel in each wheel would have serious gyroscopic effect on the steering, or not?

@arkadyaminev вот как раз балоны под давлением и относятся к обьектам повышеной опасности, а пружины нет.

Do you think that a spring is capable of capturing that much amount of energy?
