Flybrid Systems LLP, the Silverstone, UK based company, which is developing a new high-speed flywheel-based energy storage and recovery system for use in Formula One and other forms of motorsport as well as road vehicle applications, will launch the initial version of the device at the Autosport Engineering exhibition which takes place on the first two days of the 2008 Autosport International Show.

Flybrid Systems partners Jon Hilton and Doug Cross believe their company is the first in the world to demonstrate a high-speed spinning flywheel that can survive a crash test of the severity used for F1 frontal impact testing.

Hilton said, “We are delighted to be launching our new kinetic energy recovery system at the Autosport Engineering Show. The device on display will be a racing car system and we expect this green technology to generate a lot of interest."

The Autosport International Show takes place at the UK’s National Exhibition Centre in Birmingham on January 10-13.
