How Energy is Stored using a Flywheel                Flywheel Energy Storage is a potential energy storage system of the future. They leave a smaller carbon footprint and are one of the most important upcoming technologies of the future in the field of mechanics. Energy Storage Using Flywheels What is Flywheel Energy Storage?                Flywheel Energy Storage is a technique in which energy in the system is stored for future use, just as batteries are used to store energy for future use today.                In batteries, initially, energy is stored by other electrical energy sources or energy is stored from a result of some chemical reaction.                Flywheel energy storage can be compared to the battery in the same way. The flywheel energy storage system uses electrical energy and stores it in the...

Hybrid Drive Trains | Hybrid Vehicles Hybrid vehicles                The term Hybrid drive denotes such vehicle drives with more than one drive source. Hybrid drives can incorporate several similar or dissimilar  types  of energy stores and/or power converters. The goal of the hybrid drive developments is to combine different drive components, such that the advantages of each are utilized under varying operating conditions in such a manner that the overall advantages outweigh the higher technical and cost outlay associated with hybrid drives. Hybrid drive trains                Hybrid drive trains are broadly classified into series and parallel depending on the configuration of the power source. Series                In a series drive train, only the electric power is coupled to the wheels. The second power source converts fuel energy into elect...
