ABSTRACT:
A composite flywheel is shown with concave or conical shapes or combination thereof. Upon rotation at a predetermined speed, the surfaces of the flywheel tend to flatten with a resultant increase in radius measured from the axis of rotation. Such an increase in radius while permitting the disc to flatten has the effect of substantially eliminating radial stresses within the flywheel. A method of forming such a flywheel from commercially available preimpregnated fiber or tapes is also disclosed.
