A second class of distinction is the means by which energy is transmitted to and from the flywheel rotor. In a FESS, this is more commonly done by means of an electrical machine directly coupled to the flywheel rotor. This configuration, shown in Fig. 11.1, is particularly attractive due to its simplicity if electrical energy storage is needed.

To achieve a higher energy capacity, FESSs either include a rotor with a significant moment of inertia or operate at a fast spinning speed. Most of the flywheel rotors are made of either composite or metallic materials. For example, the FESS depicted in Fig. 3 includes a composite flywheel rotor [], whose operational speed is over 15,000 RPM.
