Advanced Flywheel Batteries

Flywheel batteries are also known as flywheel generators. Flywheels batteries use a disk composed of dense materials rapidly spinning in an enclosed, nearvacuum compartment to store and generate electricity. One of the great advantages of using a flywheel battery is that it can store 5/25/12 large amounts of potential electrical
