ABSTRACT:
A rotary energy storage device formed of discrete annular rings of anisotropic filamentary material disposed within the rings in a "wound" configuration, the upper and lower edges of each ring being attached alternately to the edges on adjacent rings in a radial orientation to form a structure having a bellows-like or convoluted cross-section. The present structure, due to the convoluted nature of the joined rings, is subject to unusually low radial stress within the material when rotating.
