ABSTRACT:
A variable inertia energy storage system for storing large amounts of mechanical energy for an extended period of time on land or on a mobile vehicle includes a fly wheel having a rotating hub with spoke appendages each having an associated mass the center of which can be controllably changed with respect to the hub axis of rotation. The energy storage system also includes motor/generator elements for providing rotation forces to input mechanical energy to the flywheel or for generating electrical power for use on demand by a subsystem or the like.
