I think flywheels make a lot of sense to adress the intermittency of a renewable enercy mix, it is tried and tested over centuries unlike some odd gravitational bettry prototypes. The key IMHO is to think about energy density vs weight. In an electric car the sheer weight of a flywheel means it can't compete with a chemical battery. But for utility scale, decentralised energy storage it's perfect, isn't a problem if it is stationary.

There's 1 thing particularly interesting for me with flywheel batteries - how long can they store the charge? Say if I spin it to 1kW storage speed - how much of 1 kW will left after 1 month percentage wise? It should lost momentum sure, but how fast?
@GeniusEngineering2 жыл бұрын
The idle losses losses during storage is one of the biggest disadvantages of this tech, they lose energy to quickly to be used for long-term energy storage, and there is still a significant barrier that needs to be overcome before the flywheel technology can solve the task of storing renewable energy. This is why they are mostly used for short duration applications where they can operate a few minutes up to a maximum of an hour. Superconducting bearings will be a game changer as the reduction of friction losses is the main focus of research and development for flywheel systems, since it enables increased rotating speeds and decreases self-discharge rates. I hope this bit of info helps to answer your question :)

@@GeniusEngineering Note that this is one side. In normal application the flywheels are constantly being powered with an efficiency of 95-98% when rotating at an equilibrium. They only spin down when the energy stored in them is actually needed.

@@GeniusEngineering it is already used a lot for grid systems and self-discharge have been already reduced a lot using magnetic levitation and vacuum to reduce all losses. I think BeaconPower said their flywheels only self-discharge for about 0.1% per month, which is more than perfect for homeowners and microgrids.

Magnetic bearings are subject to large demagnetization fields and break down. Electromagnets solve that problem but require energy use. Which is better? Depends on what your engineering requirements are.

The flywheel power storage can be used for the power supply of the tram. When the tram decelerates, the flywheel is used to store power. When the tram accelerates, the flywheel supplies power to the motor.

I learned that flywheel is used in vehicles to reduce fluctuations of energy. For those that have Engines because they deliver power in only one stroke. But why do we need flywheel in Electric Vehicles other than the mechanical battery purpose. Since electric motors deliver a constant power.

Because bearings based only on permanent magnets can`t be stable. It is use some times complex bearings with permanents and active magnets. Then the electric consumption become less.

It is impossible to achive such little gap with only spin stabilization. Diamagnetic forces quite weak , so it is also difficult to do i think. Main general problem of passive sistem is no vibration supression, and as result big vibration :) So active element unfortunatly must be i suppose
