Why are flywheels used as energy storage devices?
Prior Art The use of flywheels as energy storage devices is ancient art. The flywheel (FW) is an attractive means for storing energy for a number of reasons. In concept, it is a relatively simple device with which energy can be readily stored and extracted, either by mechanical means or by using electric motors and generators.
What is a flywheel rotor?
The flywheel rotor has a unique axial profile to both maximize the energy density of the flywheel, to maximize the volumetric efficiency of the entire system and to provide a circumferential ridge to add balance weights without the damaging procedure of grinding away fibers.
What is a flywheel assembly?
A flywheel assembly comprising: a cylindrical sleeve carried on said shaft, said sleeve closed at each of two opposing axial ends to define an enclosed volume; wherein said sleeve is deformed by expansion of said fluid within said enclosed volume to tightly engage said rotor.
