A typical system consists of a flywheel supported by rolling-element bearing connected to a motor–generator. The flywheel and sometimes motor–generator may be enclosed in a vacuum chamber to reduce friction and energy loss. First-generation flywheel energy-storage systems use a large steel flywheel rotating on mechanical bearings. Newer systems use carbon-fiber composite rotors that have a hi

Flywheel Energy Storage

Our approach increases strength, rigidity and improves high speed performance. We have incorporated fiber wound rotor fabrication techniques to maximize specific energy, energy density and power density.
