it's probably seconds next year. I think this year it's around 3-4 tenths so imagine twice the output and for much longer durations.CHT wrote:Does anyone know how many tenths is kers worth in 2014? just wondering if one of the top team has kers issuenduring qualifying will they end up all the way at the back.

I think everyone who had any tech knowledge don't bothered with it! It is just pure modern "exclusive reporting", without any common sense...dren wrote:He basically says the same thing that has been echoed here, that the power units will all be relatively close in output. There will be more of an initial spread than there is now, but that isn't so much. But then again, there are those believers that Mercedes is 100hp up on everyone...
90kW MGUK - surely they mean 120kW?Blackout wrote:What do you think of the sizes ? how bigger the real units will be ?

He said that it will produce 120hp revving at 120k rpm (rules allow up to 125k). No mention about the weight, but he was "playing" with it rather easily with a single hand, so I doubt we are talking about 10kg or more, probably something like 5-7 at max.
For a comparison, in 2011 Bruno had shown the 60 kW KERS of 2009 and 2011 (with carbon shell), he claimed the latter was 30% lighter. (apologize for the worse quality of these but I had still the old recording equipment back then):
