Abstract

Mechanical hybrid is a low cost hybrid. It using flywheel model and a push belt CVT. This research is make in order to get a new method to develop a method of flywheel charging behaviour during acceleration phase in order to reduce power loss Flywheel acts as energy storage that store kinetic energy. Flywheel can be stored using regenerative braking. Thus, the objective of this study is to develop a method of recharging flywheel hybrid module through acceleration phase. The study was conducted using actual test in order to get the speed of flywheel vs time graph where the motorcycle’s wheel had been acted as flywheel and the speed of the wheel will be used as input. This method proves direct relationship between motorcycle speed and power flywheel. The result shows that power of flywheel can propel the car for a certain time as the flywheel speed rotates in order to give energy to push the motorcycle. This can be assimilate by looking at children car toy. A small disk that is attached inside it can store energy and push the toy during push action. When it released the energy from the disc is transfer back to the wheel in order to propel the toy forward. This thesis is about power propulsion concept. In addition the study is to run the experiment using different driving cycle data and analyse the power torque patern of the flywheel in order to identify which driving condition is better for the motorcycle driving. Based on the result it shows that highway driving cycle (HWFET) is the best condition for flywheel hybrid compare to other driving cycle and viscous model method is develop to charge flywheel during acceleration phase.
