Describes technology and applications of stationary on-site flywheel battery with zero idling losses developed by RPM.

Flywheel Energy Storage Overview: A flywheel, in essence is a mechanical battery - simply a mass rotating about an axis. Flywheels store energy mechanically in the form of kinetic energy. They take an electrical input to accelerate the rotor up to speed by using the built-in motor, and return the electrical energy by using this same motor as a generator. Flywheels are one of the oldest and most ...
