I'm sorry to bring this sorry subject up again, but it is quite a major change, I think you'll agree.
There is an excellent article on the F1Technical website, that gives a very good account of the intricacies of KERS.
Here is the link you've all been yearning for!
What it basically says is that everyone has gone for a battery KERS apart from Williams, who have gone for the flywheel jobby. BUT, it also gives a good account of the reasons why that the flywheel might be the system that the FIA might go for, if they decide to imposea draconian "one rule fits all" rule.
The chemical battery may be the favoured solution of the majority of teams, but the flywheel is the most ecologically sound solution which lasts the longest. It also doesn't have a messy chemical battery to dispose of and the flywheel is quicker to charge up.... true, this all may not affect F1, especially the time to charge the thing, but Max/FIA are all 'green' now aren't they?
Like I said earlier, sorry if this is going over old ground, but I found this article informative.
Only four days till Oz!
