A flywheel apparatus (10) has a motor (16) a drive shaft (20) connected to the motor, an upper conical section (12) affixed to the drive shaft, and a lower conical section (14) affixed to the drive shaft opposite said upper conical section. The upper conical section (12) and lower conical section (14) each have a plurality of layers, including a hollow core (32) positioned adjacent, the drive shaft (20), and alternating layers of tempered rings and non-tempered rings arranged outwardly of the hollow core (32). The alternating layers of tempered rings and non-tempered rings are joined with a elastomeric adhesive. The plurality of layers further include a hollow cavity positioned outwardly of the alternating layers, and a rim (46) positioned outwardly of said hollow cavity. The hollow cavity can he filled with a fluid such as water, mercury-based fluids, oil-based fluids, or mixtures thereof. |
