  • @artcoding Yes. In fact many car companies today are starting to use/research alternators with clutches for disengagement. BMW I know already uses this.

  • Is the car able to mechanically deconnect the alternator? Else it is always connected to engine, so always creates electric energy from the motor mechanical rotation, so always is recharging the battery. The alternator is usually 300+ watts, that means enough for riding with all lights.

  • Malisimo el video, no muestra nada!! es para algun bobo con billetera grande; que diga... mira cuando frenas sale energía verde y pura y entra en el motor, vamos a comprarlo!, ssssfffiiiaaappp!! una caca de BMW!!!

  • good effort, but im not convinced, too long intro. im sure that at a stop, the engine does not start, but the electric battery supplies the initial start, leaving the engine to run in its most efficient area.

  • what it means exactly?

  • shit video shows nothing, that battery shown is were the battery is on a 3 series anyway....

  • actually the heat energy isn't converted, the kinetic energy of the axle is converted directly using a generator.

  • I think it means is when the car brakes the heat energy transfer into eletric to the battery...Talking about breaks, you must wacth this video and escription of it! It is called [Mechanics, be careful when you dick around!]

  • O KERS será adotado em 2009 na F1.

    O fato de já ter desenvolvido isso em carros de rua, dará alguma vantagem a montadora.

  • De onde essa informação?
