Hi everyone

First of all , sorry for my bad english !
So , for my high school final examination I'd like to talk about the new power unit especially ERS (Mgu-h and Mgu-k) . Considering that I've studied kinetic energy and that now I'm studying electric field ,electric potential,condensers and resistors , how can I link the new Power Units with these scholastic arguments?


Regards

Explain how a PU works, and what would you improve if not limited by current regulations

You could do some simple sums:

Equate the available kinetic energy available at speed and find out much could be harvested. How hot would the brakes get? Whats the force applied to the brakes to get the correct braking torque? What are the magnetic field strengths around the cables carrying the charge/discharge of the batteries? What type of energy storage device (flywheel, battery etc) has the best energy density?

There's loads you could do!
