Development Of A Kinetic Energy Recovery System Using An Active Electro-Magnetic Slip Coupling

The active electromagnetic slip coupling kinetic energy recovery system (KERS), introduced in this paper, is potentially a cost effective, yet efficient method of energy transfer between a vehicle and a lightweight flywheel. The transferred torque, as well as the coupling status, is determined by controlling its windings currents. The proposed system can work at any slip safely, including negative...
