RECOVERY SYSTEM
(KERS)
Usage of energy wasted (as mainly heat)
during breaking of F1cars for special Boosts
The details are fairly technical, but the KERS is fitted to the
rear axle and collects rotational energy during deceleration.
When the car starts moving again, the rotational energy is
sent to the rear wheels through a specially-developed
transmission. This setup allows the car's engine to be
deactivated during deceleration and launch (ie: moving away
from stop light) to improve fuel efficiency.
