This is all round great news, for everybody - the race cars have more power and road cars will be more environmental, but what I wanted really wanted to know is how they are going to store this kinetic energy as the car slows down - will it be like a heavy, rotating, separately spinning wheel, that is used to slow the wheels down by being forced against the tyres or something?
Correct, it is frozen, I think that engine development is something that should be left open. I meant engine configuration, I apologize for my clear as mud statement.
another company has a CVT that captures regenerative energy in the form of hydraulic. running engine at a more constant speed and storing unused energy will greatly improve fuel efficiency.
did you forget 2005 when the stupid qualifying and tyre rules were put it in just to f**k around with Ferrari and when schumi was penalized in monaco for "Blocking". The problem with F1 is not Ferrari, its just they change the damn rules way too many times.
'Is Formula One racing out of step with an auto industry whose greatest innovations have been in the area of fuel economy?'Lost me right there. Which auto industry would that be? Because the one I know has fought increased fuel economy tooth and nail for decades.
In Formula One the cars generate massive amounts of heat, so much that the rubber on the tires heats up to a point that the drivers must keep them hot. When you see them swerving on the road, they are actually trying to keep the tires at a hot temperature, or the small pieces of rubber on the road will stick and ruin the tires. Braking also generates tons of heat; braking is used quite frequently in F1.

If F1 wants to go green then1) use a bio diesel, as in B100or2) go 100% electric

I hope our US automakers will look at these sort of technologies and implement them in the vehicles we drive.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<a class="user" href="http://www.squidoo.com/MLM-Lead-Generation-3">http://www.squidoo.com/MLM-Lead-Generation-3</a><a class="user" href="http://www.squidoo.com/weight-loss-programs-review-1">http://www.squidoo.com/weight-loss-programs-review ...</a>
