flywheel energy storage traction motor

Flywheel

A flywheel is a mechanical device that uses the conservation of angular momentum to store rotational energy, a form of kinetic energy proportional to the product of its moment of inertia and the square of its rotational speed. In particular, assuming the flywheel''s moment of inertia is constant (i.e., a flywheel with fixed mass and second ...
