ABSTRACT:
The flywheel configuration results in optimum balance of wheel mass in the form of a proportioned disk whose cross-section necks down towards its outer extremity forming a highly stressed region, then expands to form a thin cylindrical breakaway rim portion having a large flat outer peripheral surface, the rim providing optimum inertia for the flywheel. The energy system further consists of a barrier ring to prevent overspeed of the flywheel and contains rim fragments in the event of catastrophic separation of the rim from the disk.
