If the energy in the flywheel is combined with the combustion engine’s full capacity, it will give the car an extra 80 horsepower. When the car starts moving off again, the flywheel’s rotation is transferred to the rear wheels via a specially designed transmission. The carbon fiber wheel spins in a vacuum to minimize frictional losses.
