Abstract

The main function of the flywheel is to store the energy that was transferred to it and release back energy when the system need that energy. This study was conducted to investigates the performance of the fully mechanical hybrid motorcycle by substitute the normal wheel with the wheel that have the flywheel inside. This study is divided into three stages that is fabrication of Flywheel Hybrid Module component, development of low cost Hydraulic Brake dynamometer and dynamometer test. The development of the test rig for low cost dynamometer machine is done in order to get the data performance of the hybrid system. The development of the test rig included initial idea of the test rig by interpreting it into sketching diagram. The detail design with dimension was draw by using CATIA software and the production of the test rig is begun by following the detail design and undergoes several processes. The dyno test of the system is conducted and the result was analysed. From the results, it show that the torque and power output produced by the hybrid system is more high compared to the original system. The maximum torque of original motorcycle wheel system is 11.87 Nm and maximum torque of Flywheel Hybrid Module system is 13.63 Nm at 4250 rpm of engine speed. Meanwhile, for the maximum power produced by the original motorcycle wheel system is 8.45 kW and Flywheel Hybrid Module produced 9.7 kW of maximum power at 8500 rpm of engine speed. This shows that the Flywheel Hybrid Module gave significant effect toward the torque and power output of the vehicle.
