- Flywheel Energy Storage
- 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 - 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 - 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

Provides solar electric energy storage. 7-05
- Flywheel Energy Storage Businesses (Momentum Technologies)
Provides sources of flywheel energy storage systems. Flywheels may be an alternative to batteries for storage.
