Neat new architecture for a quick Sweede (RIP Saab). http://www.foxnews.com/leisure/2015/03/03/1500-hp- koenigsegg-regera-hits-24-mph-in-first-and-only-ge ar/?intcmp=features Neat approach. You solve all sorts of problem about trying to build a transmission that will handle a 1500 HP engine by making it hydraulic. And since you already have a haydraulic transmission, you can practically suplement that drive with a regnerative electric system to both charge and power the wheels (again, hydraulically, through the already existing transmission). So you get a much simpler transmission, and all you need to add is a stack of batteries (only need to store enough power for a few accelerations before they are recharged by inertia or motor) and a powerful electric hydraulic motor. Brilliant. | ||

Brilliant . . . AND . . . satisfactorily addresses the old "I'm running a few minutes late" problem getting to work. Next step . . . I am leaving in 2 minutes . . . .I'll be there 5 minutes ago. | ||

I hope they slow down before they try to stop. | ||

And just for clarity, the only difference between a motor and a generator is if you are putting electricity into it to get motion out of it, or if you are putting motion into it to get electricity out. |
