Hi,

while not a fan of most \" Green \" energy ideas - this one really appeals.
Done with good success decades ago, it is practical, cheap to install and run with no waste products.

Busses could travel 5kms or so between getting a fresh charge and off again in a couple of minutes.

**Nice. Some maths too. I like the video. Have you seen the battery
buses in Newcastle? Very impressive. A pantograph pops up at each
station, providing recharge for the battery.

** Yep - just checked it out.
They call it \" Light Rail \" as with the non battery, similar system in Sydney.

BTW:

I liked how the flywheel bus got recharged so quickly by a hefty 3-phase motor from a three terminal overhead supply.
No electronics, very little electricals and just mechanical drive.

Here is the Wiki on the same thing:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gyrobus


Q. How the heck was 3.4kWh per km considered expensive ?

Even today at domestic rates, that is only $1 per km for a 20+ seat bus !
