Brake energy regeneration in F1 by 2009



Formula One is set for a dramatic change with the announcement today that a deal has been struck between two British engineering firms for the development of an energy recovering gearbox slated for introduction into F1 by 2009. The goal is to reduce the level of greenhouse gas emissions by recovering energy wasted during braking, and is part of FIA president Max Moseley’s dream to make F1 more cost-efficient, road relevant and environmentally friendly.

Re: Brake energy regeneration in F1 by 2009

Mind that BMW are VERY interested in "Green F1", and hoping the new "green" rules will be implied ASAP.

That would push BMW EfficientDynamics R&D even further - bringing new & better solutions in serial automobile production. Not to mention special solutions for M-models.

Re: Brake energy regeneration in F1 by 2009

I'm an idiot, so here my question. What kind of energy are they recoving? And how is this supposed to reduce green house gasses?

Re: Brake energy regeneration in F1 by 2009

H3ll NO. They're thinking of using CVTs.

I have nothing against Brake energy regeneration, but NO CVTs nor ESP/ESC + AWD.

Re: Brake energy regeneration in F1 by 2009

So Eni, will BMW Sauber use Start&Stop system as well?
Hey Imhotep, why not CVT? Then they could make the cars hybrids and F1 would be even more green! j/k

Re: Brake energy regeneration in F1 by 2009

there is an unopened can of worms here
if what i think this is, i.e. a system to collect the backward energy from braking, or in simpler words, when you brake the brakes are wasting energy such as heat, and the g force accelearation that results can be used in some method to create energy, but in the form of eelctricity, which can be stored in a battery
will this mean smaller standard batterires, and the extra electicity needed comes from these systems
or will it mean that the secondarty energy batetry will be coupled to the transmission essentially making these cars hbrids?
