ABSTRACT:
A structure flywheel energy-storage device is disclosed comprising a rotatable flywheel mounted on a vertical shaft and provided with a bearing. The flywheel is in the form of a magnetic ring structure with a spacing element disposed between the ring structure and the shaft and with magnetic supporting structure to support the rotary magnetic ring structure. The use of the magnetic supporting structure enables the flywheel, once set in rotation with a given quantity of delivered energy, to rotate much longer than if purely mechanically supported.
