KERS = Kinetic Energy Recovery System. A dynamo recovers the energy from braking, and stores it in a battery or a flywheel. The only KERS in the field at the moment are battery ones. Gives 82 bhp for 6.6 seconds per lap, as the driver sees fit to use it. Possibly worth a row off the startline and half a second a lap in the right places. The downside is the weight of the system (30kg ish), so some drivers are disadvantaged with it, Kubica for instance.

To counter that, one thing I think they could do for 2010 to promote KERS usage in more cars is raise the minimum dry weight of the car including driver to something like 625 kilos.
