Hi all,
Firstly, i am completetly new to the forum (my first forum membership period) so cut me some slack plese.
If this topic has been covered please post a link to the appropriate forum, although i have looked myself and havent had any success.
Anyway the question-again forgive me if it sounds stupid...or maybe i am just over thinking.
I want to know how Kers systems (both flywheel and elec) couple/link/synchronise with the drive shaft of an ICE or its gearbox. In my mind, the shaft from the flywheel/motor must be spinning at either the same rpm or faster, than the engine driveshaft , to actually 'add' torque.
(Also can someone confirm if the KERS flywheel/elec motor actually has to be spinning at the same rate or faster)
Thanks in advanced
Maf
