Initial tests have been completed on full-scale elastomeric energy storage units intended for a regenerative braking system application on automobiles. The round-trip energy transfer efficiency of the storage units approached ninety percent, but showed a fatigue life of only a few thousand cycles. These values are in good agreement with corresponding values obtained during the testing of small-scale samples. Small scale samples of a different stressing scheme show efficiencies in excess of ninety percent, and fatigue lives in excess of 105 cycles. A tentative design based on this stressing scheme is described. (Wassmann)
