<p>A kinetic energy storage system utilises a flywheel with a motor generator to store energy. A flywheel rotor (13) is located in an elongate housing (10) which forms at least part of a rigid framework. In use on a vehicle the framework provides a chassis for the vehicle and the vehicle may be powered from the flywheel. The flywheel rotates at high speed in a vacuum and the motor generator could be an inverted switched reluctance motor generator optionally providing a magnetic bearing function.</p> |
