An energy storage and conversion apparatus (1) comprising a containment (6) defining a vacuum chamber (9), a stator (2) within the chamber (9) and a rotor (3) around the stator (2) which, in use, is driven by the stator (2) to store energy as kinetic energy of the rotor (3) and acts with the stator (2) as a generator to release energy, wherein a rotor includes a flux shield (20) to reduce energy losses occurring due to flux (10) in the rotor (3) interacting with the containment (6) during use. By reducing the amount of flux passing from the rotor (3) to the containment (6), interactive forces are reduced thereby reducing energy losses and increasing the efficiency of the energy storage and conversion apparatus (1).
