The underlying principle of energy storage in flywheels hinges on the laws of rotational dynamics; as angular velocity increases, kinetic energy rises exponentially, allowing for significant
Learn More
Flywheels store energy in the form of the angular momentum of a spinning mass, called a rotor. The work done to spin the mass is stored in the form of kinetic energy. Video 1 is a simple video that
