SYSTEMS ASPECTS OF ENERGY WHEELS

Flywheels are components of a system, and system requirements dictate their design. This paper discusses some flywheel system considerations: shelf life, safety, system weight, energy density per pound of system, system dynamics, life and cost. Rim-only, magnetically-supported fiber energy wheels have great potential.
