Composite fiber flywheel for energy storage
Conference
·
OSTI ID:7153546
The use of the flywheel as an energy storage device has received widespread interest in the last two years. Because of their high strength-to-density ratio, relatively inexpensive fabrication process, and low safety hazards, composite materials offer great potential for efficient flywheel design. Key portable and stationary applications of the flywheel are discussed and examples of those presently under consideration at LLL are described in some detail. Design data on key candidate composite material systems are reported and areas that require further extensive study are also discussed. In addition, on-going programs, including those at LLL, are summarized.
