WhiteBlue please go an read the rules!!!! - Please !!!!WhiteBlue wrote:
The rules limit only the power you apply for acceleration, not the breaking power.
Canada is really heavy breaking. There are 16.7 MJ to harvest if you just figure the seven corners. 4MJ should not be a problem at all on that track.
Why there are no rules for 2013 yet, I think it is entirely sensible (at least for me) to assume they will be based on the curent FIA rules/KERS frame work.
And this states very clearly:
I never ever said, that there is not enough energy out there which you can harvest.FIA Technical Reglement for F1 2011 wrote: 5.2.3 The maximum power, in or out, of any KERS must not exceed 60kW.
Energy released from the KERS may not exceed 400kJ in any one lap.
I only said, that with a power limit of 120kW the amount of energy you are able to harvest during one lap, is limited by the time spend under braking, which we agreed to be 12s in average.
Even if there would be no power limit, current technology limits the amount of engergy you can transfer into your storage (battery).
And with current battery technology it is highly unlikely that someone would attempt to harvest 4MJ per lap with an electrical solution.
So, I really fail to see, what the purpose of your post was.
The only reason which comes to mind is this, with respect & appologise
I know that you are all excited about the turbo engines and KERS, and there is nothing wrong with that, I´m happy for you.The most difficult subjects can be explained to the most slow-witted man if he has not formed any idea of them already; but the simplest thing cannot be made clear to the most intelligent man if he is firmly persuaded that he knows already, without a shadow of doubt, what is laid before him.--Leo Tolstoy, 1897
But let´s not loose sigth of the technical limitations and some physics.
More often then not, there is more then one way to do something, and achieve the same result/goal. Which in F1 is winning races/championships.
Nobody has the monopol to do it "the right way", and nobody has the monopol to be right all the time.
Merry Christmas and a happy New Year - nonetheless
