ABSTRACT:
The present invention comprises a flywheel made from a unitary tape of liquid crystalline polymer. Such a flywheel is readily prepared according to the present invention by utilizing a unitary tape of liquid crystalline polymer, since a reduced amount of winding is required as compared to the use of filamentary materials without a binding resin. Even in comparison to filamentary tapes, the present invention is advantageous since almost the entire flywheel can be made of liquid crystalline polymer without the necessity of a composite or other binding which is necessary when high strength filamentary materials are used. The present invention allows complex flywheel profiles required for maximum energy density to be more easily produced.
