Flywheel energy storage diy

Flywheel energy storage diy

If you take a flywheel with a heavy metal rim and replace it with a rim that's twice as heavy (double its moment of inertia), it will store twice as much energy when it spins at the same speed. But if you take the original flywheel and spin it twice as fast (double its angular velocity), you'll quadruple how much energy it stores. [pdf]
