  • Mechanical-Energy Storage Unit
    Publication number: 20240088706
    Abstract: A system may include a flywheel including one or more plates and coupled at a central axis of rotation to a flywheel bearing, the flywheel being adapted to rotate about the central axis. A system may include a flywheel housing providing vertical support to the flywheel bearing. A system may include the flywheel bearing coupling the flywheel to the flywheel housing. A system may include a motor assembly including a motor adapted to convert an input electrical current to rotational momentum by spinning up the flywheel, the motor further being adapted to convert the rotational momentum of the flywheel into an output electrical current. A system may include a flywheel coupling adapted to couple the motor assembly with the flywheel and impart rotational force between the motor and the flywheel.
