853 results about "Flywheel" patented technology

A flywheel is a mechanical device specifically designed to efficiently store rotational energy (kinetic energy). Flywheels resist changes in rotational speed by their moment of inertia. The amount of energy stored in a flywheel is proportional to the square of its rotational speed and its mass. The way to change a flywheel's stored energy without changing its mass is by increasing or decreasing its rotational speed. Since flywheels act as mechanical energy storage devices, they are the kinetic-energy-storage analogue to electrical capacitors, for example, which are a type of accumulator. Like other types of accumulators, flywheels smooth the ripple in power output, providing surges of high power output as required, absorbing surges of high power input (system-generated power) as required, and in this way act as low-pass filters on the mechanical velocity (angular, or otherwise) of the system.

Vehicle idling start and stop control system and method

The invention discloses a vehicle idling start and stop control system and method. The control system judges whether a vehicle has idling start and stop conditions by monitoring the water temperatureof an engine, the capacity of a storage battery, a safety belt and other information, judges whether the vehicle has conditions of stopping the engine by monitoring the rotating speed of the engine, the speed of the vehicle, the brake air pressure and other conditions, and judges whether the vehicle has conditions of starting the engine by monitoring the gear of a gearbox, the speed of the vehicle, a hand brake and other information. When the relevant conditions are met, start and stop work signals are sent to the engine though a CAN bus. In order to guarantee the reliability of frequent startand stop of the engine, the system strengthens flywheel gear rings of a starter and the engine. In order to ensure that the battery does not lose power, a storage battery capacity sensor is added tothe system on the basis of increasing the capacity of the storage battery, and the idling start and stop are allowed when the state of charge (SOC) of the storage battery satisfies a safe starting threshold. The idling start and stop control system has advantages of low cost and high reliability, and is especially suitable for commercial vehicles.
