Additional experimental prestressed rim evaluations indicate that this technique should permit near full utilization of Kevlar-49 hoop strength in a prestressed flywheel rim with resultant energy densities up to 44 Wh/lb. A finite-element model of the Deltawrap flywheel was generated, and several analyses were made. Design of the containment assembly hardware is 90% complete.
