ABSTRACT:
A flywheel comprises a plurality of overlying fiber layers embedded in a monolithic matrix of binder material. The fibers of each layer are parallel to each other and extend in radial and chordal directions. The fibers of each successive layer are oriented at a single predetermined angle to those of a preceding adjacent layer such that at least four layers of fibers are disposed between any two layers in which the fibers of both such layers extend substantially parallel to each other. By this structure, the flywheel of the present invention is made to exhibit a high strength-to-weight ratio, the centrifugal force generated by the flywheel, when spinning, being accommodated by the fibers along the axial direction of each fiber.
