5.1 Flywheel Storage Systems. The first known utilization of flywheels specifically for energy storage applications was to homogenize the energy supplied to a potter wheel. Since a potter requires the involvement of both hands into the axisymmetric task of shaping clay as it rotated, the intermittent jolts by the potter foot meant that the ...

The rim-type flywheel will explode at a much lower rotary speed than a solid disc-type wheel of equal weight and diameter. For minimal weight and high energy-storage capacity, a flywheel can be formed of high-strength steel and produced as a tapered disk, which is thick in the center. 3. High Velocity Flywheel

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.

The flywheel material with the highest specific tensile strength will yield the highest energy storage per unit mass. This is one reason why carbon fiber is a material of interest. For a given design the stored energy is proportional to the hoop stress and the volume. [citation needed] An electric motor-powered flywheel is common in practice.

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 ...
