Flywheel batteries: what are they?

Flywheels store energy in large wheels sealed in a vacuum, used to store and release electrical energy. They have a mechanical method of storage, making the amount of energy stored limited only by the size of the flywheel. Flywheels are supported by magnetic bearings, making them cheap, reliable, and requiring little maintenance. They have virtually […]

What’s a Flywheel?

Flywheels store energy and stabilize rotating machinery. They can be used as energy storage devices for scientific experiments or as backup power for facilities. The amount of energy stored depends on the mass and speed of rotation, with larger flywheels capable of storing more energy. A flywheel is a simple spinning wheel used to store […]
