"Système de récupération de l'énergie cinétique
Le SREC, acronyme de Système de récupération de l'énergie cinétique (KERS ou Kinetic Energy Recovery System en anglais) est un système de freinage, surtout utilisé dans le monde de l'automobile, qui récupère une partie de l'énergie cinétique générée par la décélération au lieu de la disperser sous forme de chaleur. L'invention du SREC dans sa version mécanique a été revendiquée dans les années 1950 par le physicien américain Richard Feynman[1].
Cette énergie peut, selon les différentes technologies actuelles :"

"Kinetic Energy Recovery Systems (KERS) are automotive systems whereby the kinetic energy of a moving vehicle is recovered under braking and stored in a reservoir (for example a flywheel or a battery) for later use under acceleration.
Kinetic Energy Recovery Systems (KERS) were used for the motor sport Formula One's 2009 season, and are under development for road vehicles. KERS was abandoned for the 2010 Formula One season, but re-introduced for the 2011 season. As of the 2011 season, 9 teams are using KERS, with 3 teams having not used it so far in a race.[1] One of the main reasons that not all cars use KERS is because it adds an extra 25 kilograms of weight. While not adding to the total car weight, it does incur a penalty particularly seen in the qualifying rounds, as it raises the car's center of gravity, and reduces the amount of ballast that is available to balance the car so that it is more predictable when turning.[2] FIA rules also limit the exploitation of the system. The concept of transferring the vehicle’s kinetic energy using flywheel energy storage was postulated by physicist Richard Feynman in the 1950s[citation needed]. It is exemplified in complex high end systems such as the Zytek, Flybrid,[3] Torotrak[4][5] and Xtrac used in F1 and simple, easily manufactured and integrated differential based systems such as the Cambridge Passenger/Commercial Vehicle Kinetic Energy Recovery System (CPC-KERS).[6]"
