INTRODUCTION In 1975, Dr. R. T. Schneider at the University of Florida conceived the idea of a flexible flywheel made of rope for energy storage. The idea was to develop an economical, safe, self-balancing energy storage device to make solar or wind-generated electricity practical for home or farm use.
When energy is required, the motor functions as a generator, because the flywheel transfers rotational energy to it. This is converted back into electrical energy, thus completing the cycle. As the flywheel spins faster, it experiences greater force and thus stores more energy. Flywheels are thus showing immense promise in the field of energy
