Flywheel Energy Storage

When energy is required, the motor functions as a generator, because the flywheel transfers rotational energy to it. This is converted back into electrical energy, thus completing the cycle. As the flywheel spins faster, it experiences greater force and thus stores more energy. Flywheels are thus showing immense promise in the field of energy ...
