Abstract: A mechanical energy accumulator system has a housing with a first pair of flywheels, a second pair of flywheels and a third pair of flywheels. Each of the flywheels is formed of a ceramic material. A stator is positioned in an interior area of each of the flywheels. A pipe shaft is positioned interior of the stator. The pipe shaft has a plurality of magnets therein. A circular pipe is embedded within each of the flywheels. The circular pipe has a fluid contained therein.

Abstract: A mechanical energy accumulator, suitable for being mounted in a vehicle has a spherical housing with three pairs of flywheel assemblies mounted therein. Each of the pair of flywheel assemblies is rotatable in opposite directions about a respective axis. Each of the axes are perpendicular to one another. At least one permanent magnet motor is mounted within the flywheel assemblies. Each of the flywheels of the flywheel assemblies has a double conical flywheel base, a motor-generator suitable for driving the double conical flywheel base, and a flywheel lid covering the motor-generator. The mechanical energy accumulator may be mounted in a shell having an expansion member. The mechanical energy accumulator has a strong side and a weak side due to varying retention strength of windings therearound so as to create a controlled burst.

Abstract: A mechanical energy accumulator has a housing, a first pair of flywheels rotatable about a first axis within the housing, a second pair of flywheels rotatable about a second axis within the housing, and a third pair of flywheels rotatable about a third axis within the housing. Each flywheel of the first pair of flywheels being rotatable in opposite directions, each flywheel of the second pair of flywheels being rotatable in opposite directions and each flywheel of the third pair of flywheels being rotatable in opposite directions. The first, second and third axes are perpendicular to each other. An energy input is cooperative with at least one of the flywheels for supplying electrical energy so as to rotate the flywheel. An energy output is also provided for converting the rotation of the flywheels into potential energy. Each of the flywheels has a double conical shape.

Abstract: A flywheel apparatus has a motor, a drive shaft connected to the motor, an upper conical section affixed to the drive shaft, and a lower conical section affixed to the drive shaft opposite said upper conical section. The upper conical section and lower conical section each have a plurality of layers, including a hollow core positioned adjacent the drive shaft, and alternating layers of tempered rings and non-tempered rings arranged outwardly of the hollow core. The alternating layers of tempered rings and non-tempered rings are joined with a elastomeric adhesive. The plurality of layers further include a hollow cavity positioned outwardly of the alternating layers, and a rim positioned outwardly of said hollow cavity. The hollow cavity can be filled with a fluid such as water, mercury-based fluids, oil-based fluids, or mixtures thereof.

Abstract: A power source for a starter motor comprising a frame, a hand crank rotatably connected to the frame, a flywheel generator connected to the hand crank, and power transmission electrically connected to the flywheel generator so as to transmit energy to a starter motor. The flywheel generator comprises a flywheel connected to the hand crank, a permanent magnet fixedly attached to the flywheel, and a stator winding mounted to the frame. The stator winding is electrically connected to the power transmitter. The power transmitter includes a rectifier bridge electrically connected to the flywheel generator and connector leads for connecting the rectifier bridge to terminals associated with a starter motor. A gear train is arranged within the frame so as to transmit a greater rate of rotation to the flywheel.

Abstract: An energy storage device comprising three flywheels mounted mutually perpendicular on said shafts in three dimensions within a rigid enclosure. The shafts are interconnected within the enclosure through a bevel gear arrangement in which the motion of one flywheel is imparted to the other flywheels. The shafts pass through the walls of the enclosure through a bearing arrangement.

Abstract: An air lift mechanism has one or more rotating discs within wells in a top deck. Each disc has cambered convexities on its upper surface. A cylindrical wall of each well has operational ports.
