By Tom Stanton is an aerospace engineer who was"sidetracked by the endless possibilities of 3D printers" after graduating, and he now spends his time on YouTube working onIn his most recent video, he decided to build a kinetic energy recovery system by equipping a basic bicycle with an energy-harvesting flywheel system. An 11.8 inch steel flywheel is positioned in the center of the bike's frame and is coupled to the rear wheel through a chain and a clutch.

If you're curious to see the bike in a practical demonstration, make sure you watch the video embedded above.Stay ahead with the latest science, technology and innovation news, for free:
