Feasibility of Flywheel High-Energy Storage.
Abstract
An analytical and experimental program was conducted to determine the feasibility of high-performance flywheels utilizing wound-filament construction. Principal accomplishments were: Defined the effects of material properties and proportions on flywheel stress distribution, Established the need for elastomeric matrix materials; Established flywheel design criteria, Defined flywheel loss and run-down characteristics, Defined representative flywheel energy-densities, Demonstrated fabrication of good quality fiberglass/elastomer windings in small scale, and Demonstrated peripheral speed of 1850 ft/sec with a fiberglass/resin rim.
