Flywheel energy storage (FES) works by accelerating a rotor (flywheel) to a very high speed and maintaining the energy in the system as rotational energy. When energy is extracted from the system, the flywheel''s rotational speed is reduced as a consequence of the principle of conservation of energy; adding energy to the system correspondingly results in an increase in the speed of th…

The Torus Flywheel uses electricity from the grid or a renewable energy source, like solar panels or wind turbines, to spin a heavy metal disc using its motor-generator, storing kinetic energy. This kinetic energy is later converted back into electricity for businesses and utility providers to use as the disc gradually slows down.
Mechanical energy storage systems take advantage of kinetic or gravitational forces to store inputted energy. While the physics of mechanical systems are often quite simple (e.g. spin a flywheel or lift weights up a hill), the technologies that enable the efficient and effective use of these forces are particularly advanced.

flywheel, heavy wheel attached to a rotating shaft so as to smooth out delivery of power from a motor to a machine. The inertia of the flywheel opposes and moderates fluctuations in the speed of the engine and stores the excess energy for intermittent use. To oppose speed fluctuations effectively, a flywheel is given a high rotational inertia ...
The flywheel energy storage system (FESS) converts the electric energy into kinetic energy when the speed is increased by the two-way motor and the opposite when reduced.

The flywheel material with the highest specific tensile strength will yield the highest energy storage per unit mass. This is one reason why carbon fiber is a material of interest. For a given design the stored energy is proportional to the hoop stress and the volume. [citation needed] An electric motor-powered flywheel is common in practice.
