Abstract— Most of the new technologies were discovered with time which led a serious change in
the perception of electric energy. But at the same time there is a misconception of “FREE
ENERGY”. Energy becomes free of cost only at a stage after which we don’t have to pay for
generation after commissioning the unit. In this research paper, the uses of free energy were noticed
by using flywheel system. A motor of 1/2 horsepower capacity is used to drive a combination of belt
and pulley drive which form a gear-train and produces over twice rpm at the shaft of an alternator.
The intriguing facts about this system are that higher electrical output power can be obtained from
the output of the alternator than appears to be drawn from the input motor. This is done with the help
of Gravity wheel or flywheel. Detail study is done with various parameters of flywheel to obtain the
maximum free energy out of the system.
Keywords— Flywheel, Gravity, Power System, Generator, Conventional Energy, Free Energy.

I. INTRODUCTION
The energy which has no cost called free energy. Mechanical energy which drives windmill or Solar
energy in solar cell which is then transforms into DC current another energies obtained are from
wind power, water power and telluric power. Free energy generator is a way to generate free energy.
There is electricity present everywhere in unlimited quantities and can drive the world’s equipment
without the need for gas, coal or oil. There is no such thing as Free Energy. Any electric power from
Solar cells, Wind Tidal, Geothermal, and Hydroelectric is only free, after starting up these methods
for generating electric power by delivering some capital cost.

Energy becomes free only after some point since we don’t have to pay charges for electric power
generation through these non-conventional methods for generating electric power. This concludes
that energy can definitely captured from the local environment in sufficient quantities so that our
primary requirements are satisfied. This basic fact and it is denied at every opportunity in
conventional science determined not to take it. It seems that root cause of this refusal to accept this
factuality are likely that given financial interests. The correct scientific method is to improvement
scientific theory by observed fact and new discoveries, but the true scientific method is not being
followed at the present time.

II. HISTORY OF FLYWHEEL

1000 years ago, the flywheel had been utilized. Then, a few 100 years ago mechanical flywheels
where widely used to achieve smooth operation of machines from cycle to cycle, thereby cede
possible the industrial revolution. The latest models flywheels consisting of only a stone wheel
attached to an axle. Then, in the 1970’s the flywheel energy storage was suggest as a principal
objective for electric vehicles and stationary power backup. On the same time, fiber composite rotors
where built and magnetic bearings were started to appear in the 1980s.

Thus the prospect for using flywheel as energy storage (electric) has long been established by
extensive research. Nowadays flywheels widely used to store energy mechanically & converted to
electrical energy. FESS could have energy feed in the rotational mass of a flywheel; store it as kinetic
energy, and release out up on demand. The main principle of flywheel is the maximum energy that
enters into the systems the faster it rotates. So, the system can be stored more energy in form of
mechanical. Recently, flywheel is proving to be an ideal form of storage on account of its greater
efficiency, long cycle life, wide operating temperature range, liberty from depth of discharge effects
and higher power and energy density on both mass and volume basis.

energy to run external power supply. The project is inspired from CHAS CAMPBELL’s Generator.

IV.WORKING PRINCIPLE
A mains motor of 373 watt capacity (0.5 horsepower) is used to drive a series of belts and pulleys
which form a gear-train which produces over twice the rotational speed at the shaft of an electrical
generator. The conspiracy thing about this system is that greater electrical power can be drawn from
the output generator than appears to be drawn from the input drive to the motor. Mr. Tseung’s
gravity theory explains that if a energy pulse is applied to a flywheel, then during the instant of that
pulse, excess energy equal to 2mgr is fed into the flywheel, where “m” is the mass of the flywheel,
“g” is the gravitational constant and “r” is the radius of the center of mass of the flywheel, that is, the
distance from the axle to the point at which the mass of the wheel shows to act. If all of the flywheel
mass is at the rim of the wheel, the “r” would be the radius of the wheel itself. This means that if the
flywheel is driven sophisticatedly at constant speed, then there is no energy gain. However, if the
drive is not smooth, then excess energy is drawn from the gravitational field. That energy rises as the
diameter of the flywheel rises. It also increases as the weight of the flywheel increases. It also
increases if the flywheel weight is concentrated as far out towards the rim of the flywheel as is able.
It also increases, the faster the impulses are applied to the system

V. LITERATURE REVIEW
5.1 Self-Excited Induction Generator (SEIG) - A.K. Tandon et al., and Malik et al., [2][1987]:
In recent years, squirrel cage induction machines are used as the electromechanical energy converter.
The principle of self-excitation applied to the induction machines to generate electricity. According
to Tze-Fun (1888), an induction machine called as self-excited induction generator (SEIG), when a
suitable capacitance is connected across the stator winding of an induction machine and self-
excitation occur under favorable conditions. SEIG is good candidate for electric generation
applications, because they do not need external power supply to produce the magnetic field.
According to D. Seyoum et al. (2000) permanent magnet generator can also be used for energy
applications but they suffer from uncontrollable magnetic field, which decline over a period due to
weakening of the magnets, and generated voltage tends to fall steeply with load. The advantages of
SEIG over synchronous induction machine are small size and weight, simple construction, absence
of separate source for excitation, cheap and low maintenance cost. Besides its application as a
generator, the principle of self-excitation can also be used in dynamic braking of three phase
induction motor. The terminal capacitance in SEIG must have a certain minimum value so that the
self-excitation may take place. This value is affected by the machine parameters, its speed and load
condition.

5.2 Analysis of Flywheel- Sudipta Saha, Abhik Bose, G. SaiTejesh, and S.P. Srikanth [4]
[2009]:
The significance of the flywheel geometry design selection and its contribution towards the energy
storage performance. This contribution is shows on example cross-sections using computer aided
analysis and maximization procedure. Proposed Computer aided analysis and maximization
procedure results show that smart design of flywheel geometry could both have a significant effect
on the particular Energy performance and reduce the operational loads exerted on the shaft or
bearings due to reduced mass at high rotational speeds.

5.3 Bedier B. EL-Naggar and Ismail A. Kholeif [5] suggest the disk-rim flywheel for light weight.
The mass of the flywheel is reduced subject to restraints of demanded moment of inertia and
admissible stresses. The theory of the rotating disks of unvarying thickness and density is act on
every disk and the rim independently with suitable parallel condition at the junction. Suitable
boundary conditions on the centrifugal stresses are applicable and the dimensional ratios are obtained
for less weight. It is proved that the required design is very close to the disk with uniform thickness.

5.4 “On a Flywheel-Based Regenerative Braking System for Regenerative Energy Recovery”
by Tai-Ran Hsu:
This paper represents a flywheel-based RE recovery, storage & release system developed at
laboratory. It can regain and reserve RE produced by braking motion generator with alternating
rotary velocity such as the rotor of a wind turbo generator related to irregular intake wind and the
axels of electric & gas-electric automobiles during frequent braking & coasting. Releasing of the
stored RE in the flywheel by the alternator is converted to electricity. A proof-of-concept prototype
called the SJSU-RBS, design, prepared and tested by students with assistance of a technical staff in
author’s school. A new regenerative braking system, the SJSU-RBS was developed with the design,
prepared and testing of a proof of concept prototype. It involves a fast spinning flywheel/alternator
unit with a uniquely designed progressive braking system and an epicyclical gear train. This new
SJSU-RBS can be preferably accepted to power plants driven by renewable energies from alternating
source such as solar, wind & hybrid gas-electric automobiles during braking & coasting.

VI. FUTURE SCOPE

 This study aim to use thin firm shaped flywheel in FESS. Then, aluminum was chose as raw material
for the flywheel rotor. Another scope of this study is using a three phase asynchronous induction
machine as motor-generator set of FESS.
 If higher specifications system is used such as 8HP motor and 150kg flywheel could produce 50%
more free energy at the output alternator. Such high end system could extend the life of exhaustible
nonrenewable resources for more than 50% of its current life.

VII. CONCLUSION
Based on the above work of free energy generator using flywheel the following conclusion can be
drawn. It is clear that, cast iron flywheels are having greater Stress and deformation. S Glass Epoxy
can be used in flywheels to store energy with less mass. Environmental concerns in conjunction with
the call for greater operational safety may incite demand for new decentralized electricity production
systems, coupled to the network and integrating small scale storage devices. Flywheels would then
provide an excellent solution and allow the market to expand. We got 18% extra electrical output.
This is our free energy. The AC generator and flywheel produce 450 W of electricity from 0.5 HP
motor.
