OSTI ID:5860719
The result of the study presented is the design of a suspension system for the support of a 10 kWh energy storage flywheel, with scaling equations and curves suitable for extending the 10 kWh design to other flywheel sizes up to 100 kWh. Included in the study is the design of a test vehicle suitable for evaluating the final suspension design. The first phase of this effort was a concept study in which fluid film bearings for both radial and axial load support and magnet suspensions were examined in several combinations to determine suitability. The concept study is described and includes discussions on flywheel sizing, journal and thrust bearing sizing, magnetic suspension sizing and geometric arrangements.
