  • The application of a band variable-inertia flywheel to an urban transit bus

    Creator:
    Moosavi-Rad, Hamid
    Abstract:
    This dissertation investigates by means of computer simulation the potential of a Band Variable-Inertia Flywheel (BVIF) to store energy for an urban transit bus. Replacing both a fixed-inertia flywheel (FIF) and a continuously variable transmission (CVT), the Band Variable-Inertia Flywheel is capable of accelerating a vehicle from rest to a...
