Never knew the NYCTA did an experiment like that.Did those cars have it until retirement? I doubt it, but just asking. I read before that some systems have flywheels located in station areas, but that requires "NTT style" regeneration which puts power into the third rail. Do you know the specs of the flywheel? Such as the weight of it, in partiular. Diameter as well. I'll try to calculate how fast this thing would need to spin to get a good amount of energy stored in there. Also, how much heavier were the cars? |
