Energy storing flywheel drive
Patent
·
OSTI ID:6713653
An energy storing flywheel drive is described. The device includes two flywheels rotatably supported in a housing for rotation about a common axis and operatively connected to a common shaft through two planetary type traction roller transmissions. The first flywheel is connected to the sun member and the input-output shaft is associated with the planetary members of the first planetary transmission while its outer ring member is mounted in the housing and the second flywheel is connected to the sun member and the input-output shaft is connected to the outer ring member of the second planetary transmission while its planetary members are mounted on the housing thereby to cause, upon rotation of the input-output shaft, rotation of the flywheels in opposite directions. The transmission ratios of the planetary transmissions are selected so as to prevent the generation of gyroscopic forces.
