Flywheel energy and power storage systems

Energy storage in flywheels. A flywheel stores energy in a rotating mass. Depending on the inertia and speed of the rotating mass, a given amount of kinetic energy is stored as rotational energy. The flywheel is placed inside a vacuum containment to eliminate friction-loss from the air and suspended by bearings for a stabile operation.
