Abstract

The concept of flywheel storing energy in a spinning object is very old, potter’s wheel, ancient turbines made of wood which were immersed in a river to get the turbine spinning from the flowing water of the river, modern flywheels were initiated over 100 years ago, they were solely used to keep machinery running smoothly from cycle to cycle, power plants use flywheels in their steam turbines, steam engines use flywheels, hydro power plants use flywheel in the form of hydro turbines, internal combustion engines use them, they are used to supply a surge of energy for particle accelerators. The proposed device employs a system by which rotational energy i.e., kinetic energy of an object having large moment of inertia is stored converted to electrical energy, this is intended for electricity generation application by discharge kinetic energy stored in the flywheel, the device works by charging the flywheel i.e., spinning the flywheel to a defined rpm, the flywheel will rotate so that the electrical energy is transformed into mechanical energy and stored in it then discharging the flywheel i.e., using up the stored kinetic energy in the flywheel to generate electricity via a generator
