Temat: Ricardo Kinergy

Ricardo Kinergy delivers breakthrough technology for effective, ultra-efficient and low cost hybridisation

Building on its extensive experience in the research and development of advanced energy management concepts – including the engineering of kinetic energy recovery systems (KERS) for motorsport – Ricardo has devised Kinergy, a high-speed, hermetically-sealed flywheel energy storage system concept with a highly innovative and patented magnetic gearing and coupling mechanism.

The high power density and long-life potential of Kinergy technology combines both simplicity and effectiveness, avoiding the need for vacuum pumps and seals typically associated with high speed carbon fibre based flywheel systems. The lack of any mechanical coupling or other form of linkage through the system’s casing enables Kinergy to offer a highly robust, compact and lightweight package suitable both for incorporation into new product designs as well as retrofit applications aimed at improving the efficiency of existing vehicle fleets and industrial equipment.
