ABSTRACT:
A multiple stage energized fluiel flywheel is contained within a housing. An axially extending shaft is rotatably mounted within the housing. Fluid is introduced into the unit through an initial axial flow section and further pressure increases are experienced in a radial blower section and an annular squirrel cage section peripherally arranged about the radial blower. Pressurized fluid discharged from the squirrel cages is directed to either a peripheral exhaust ring which discharges pressurized fluid to the reservoir interior or to an adjacent hydraulic motor. The hydraulic motor includes a rotor which is secured to the stator section of the initial axial pumping section. The axial shaft, radial blower, squirrel cage and exhaust section rotate as a unit in one direction of operation. The hydraulic motor and axial pumping section stator rotate as a unit in the opposite direction of rotation. The flywheel may operate using air, hydraulic fluid or other motive fluids. Several flywheel units may be mounted in a balanced arrangement on a single shaft within an enclosure.
