A flywheel is a rotating disk used as a storage device for kinetic energy. Flywheels resist changes in their rotational speed, which helps steady the rotation of the shaft when a fluctuating torque is exerted on it by its power source such as a piston-based engine, or when the load placed on it is intermittent. Flywheels can be used to produce ...

2. A 1,000kg, 5m, 200RPM flywheel would store 685,567J of energy if it was shaped like a disc. That''s 0.19kWh of energy — enough to boil the water for about seven (7) cups of tea or run a typical airconditioner for about 10 minutes. I think you might be over-estimating how much energy these things can store.

This results in the storage of kinetic energy. When energy is required, the motor functions as a generator, because the flywheel transfers rotational energy to it. This is converted back into electrical energy, thus completing the cycle. As the flywheel spins faster, it experiences greater force and thus stores more energy.

Electric Flywheel Basics. The core element of a flywheel consists of a rotating mass, typically axisymmetric, which stores rotary kinetic energy E according to. E = 1 2 I ω 2 [ J], (Equation 1) where E is the stored kinetic energy, I is the flywheel moment of inertia [kgm 2 ], and ω is the angular speed [rad/s].

If this is a one hour rating, then $350/kWh is very impressive and certainly competitive with most batteries. But if one uses the 5000W/kg figure and the 120 Wh/kg, then the ratio of power to energy is about 40, and the cost becomes $14k/kWh, which is totally unaffordable. There are also other issues such as the 20%/hr energy loss, and ...

Function of Flywheel. A flywheel is a heavy wheel attached to a rotating shaft so as to smooth out the delivery of power from a motor to a machine. The inertia of the flywheel opposes and moderates fluctuations in the speed of the engine and stores the excess energy for intermittent use. Flywheels are found in almost all types of automobiles ...

A flywheel is a mechanical device that uses the conservation of angular momentum to store rotational energy, a form of kinetic energy proportional to the product of its moment of inertia and the square of its rotational speed. In particular, assuming the flywheel''s moment of inertia is constant (i.e., a flywheel with fixed mass and second ...
