Progress during 1980 in the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory Mechanical Energy Storage Technology (MEST) Project is reported. This project's goals are to develop and evaluate the energy-saving potential of flywheel energy storage systems for vehicles and for fixed-base power systems. Activities related to transportation applications; fixed-base applications; fiber-composite materials technology; flywheel rotor and containment technology; advanced component technology; and project management are described in detail.
