Flybrid Systems LLP is an innovative engineering company taking a fresh look at hybrid vehicle technology.

The company has developed an entirely mechanical high-speed flywheel based energy storage and recovery system which meets the 2009 Formula One regulations but which is also suitable for other racing formulae and for road vehicles.

The Flybrid device is powerful, small and light giving a better power to weight ratio than any existing automotive hybrid technology. This higher power makes it possible to store more energy during short braking periods dramatically increasing system effectiveness. The system is also very efficient with up to 70% of braking energy being returned to the wheels to drive the vehicle back up to speed. The device is readily recycled and relatively inexpensive to make as it can be made entirely from conventional materials.

From their Silverstone offices Flybrid Systems are pursuing the development of this technology for road vehicles. Computer simulations suggest that fuel consumption savings of up to 65% are possible for certain vehicle types and the promise of big reductions in CO2 emissions have already attracted strong interest from major car makers.
