Lists Flywheel Energy Storage Businesses (Momentum Technologies) Provides sources of flywheel energy storage systems. Flywheels may be an alternative to batteries for storage. Papers Flywheel Electricity Storage (ActivePower.com) Provides a flywheel energy storage system. 7-05 Flywheel Energy - Formulas (RPM) Provides formulas for use of a flywheel for energy storage. 4-02 Flywheel Energy Storage (BeaconPower.com) Provides solar electric energy storage. 7-05 Flywheel Energy Storage (EV World - Moore) Discusses a prototype flywheel to replace batteries in a hybrid car. The PowerBeam flywheel was invented by Chris Ellis. 2-02 Flywheel Energy Storage (NASA Power and Propulsion Office) Explains how a flywheel stores electrical energy and includes diagrams. Flywheels may be an alternative to batteries for storage. Regenerative braking in cars or electric bikes is a variation on the concept. Focuses on aerospace use. Flywheel Energy Storage - Benefits (Rayner) "In order to optimize the energy-to-mass ratio, the flywheel needs to spin at the maximum possible speed. This is because kinetic energy only increases linearly with Mass but goes as the square of the rotational speed." Tensile strength is therefore more important than density. 1-02 Flywheel Energy Storage - Composites (ASPES) Lighter weight composites, such as carbon fiber, are considered desirable because energy storage is more influenced by speed of rotation than mass. Composites can be designed to be safe if they ever fail. Instead of having a sharp object (such as steel) penetrate the housing, a long fiber of carbon could be designed to just unravel--and not penetrate the housing. Also discusses the most cost-effective bearings to use. 1-02 Flywheel Energy Storage - Formulas (Fradella) Provides formulas for developing an effective flywheel for storing electrical energy. Regenerative braking in cars or electric bikes is a variation on the concept. Flywheel Energy Storage - High Speed (PowerPulse.net) Explains how a high speed flywheel, made with composites, stores electrical energy. Flywheels may be an alternative to batteries for storage. Flywheel Energy Storage - Rotor Construction (Portland State University - Bakis) Discusses construction of a flywheel using composite materials. 1-02 Flywheel Gyro and Motor-Generator (NASA) Provides a cross-section view of a flywheel gyroscope to stabilize motion, combined with a motor-generator. The flywheel can also store electrical energy. Flywheel Ideas (Wright) Provides discussions on uses of flywheels for projects. 1-02 Flywheel Power Assist for Cars (Popular Mechanics) Describes a flywheel energy system, by Aura Systems Flywheel, designed to replace a car's alternator, flywheel, solenoid, starter, and belts. 03-06 Flywheel and Gas Turbine-Powered Hybrid Cars (Scientific American - Rosen and Castleman) Describes a car powered by a flywheel and a gas turbogenerator. The authors intend to manufacture and sell the car. 03-06 Flywheel for a Car - How It Works (Scientific American - Rosen and Castleman) Describes a flywheel for use in a car for storage of electric power. A gimbal ring isolates the flywheel from the movement of the car to prevent interference with steering. 3-02 Flywheel-Powered Cars (Rainforest) Describes a flywheel energy storage system that may soon replace batteries for electric cars. 3-02 Flywheel-Powered Hybrid Cars (AFS Trinity) Describes electric cars that will be powered by a combination of fuel cells and flywheel energy. 3-02 Flywheel-Powered Neighborhood Cars (Dynasty Motorcar Corporation) Describes a flywheel energy storage system, CEMB Flywheel Technology, to replace batteries for electric neighborhood cars. 3-02 Flywheels Should Stabilize Bikes (American Society of Mechanical Engineers - Baumgartner) Provides results of a study that suggests that the use of a flywheel may be desirable to stablize bikes for children. Editor's Note - A stabilizing flywheel may provide the same benefits desired from use of an adult tricycle. 1-02 Flywheels for Ceiling Fans (Parts Room) Describes flywheels for ceiling fans. These flywheels may be of a size, weight, and shape suitable for bicycle wheels. Awesome Library does not endorse this product, but provides it as an example. 3-02 Purchase Resources Bearings - Precision Bearings (Barden Corporation) Provides precision bearings that might be used with a flywheel system. Awesome Library does not endorse the product, but provides it as an example. 1-02 Flywheel Demonstration Unit (Hi-Tech Scientific) Provides a small flywheel apparatus for demonstrations in classrooms. Awesome Library does not endorse the product, but provides it as an example. 1-02 Flywheel Power for an Electric Car (EvWorld - Gottfried) Describes the CEMB flywheel energy storage system that is alleged to store four times the energy of a battery of similar weight. CEMB stands for Cubic Electro-Mechanical Battery. Awesome Library does not endorse the product, but provides it as an example. 1-02 Flywheels (Kenyon) Provides gyroscopic stabilizers that possibly could be used to stabilize bikes (instead of the use of three wheels). Awesome Library does not endorse the product, but provides it as an example. 1-02
