The design takes advantage of the flywheel as an energy storage device. The flywheel is spun up to speed using a hand crank, through a timing belt and a set of hybrid 3D printed and CNC aluminium ...

VC-backed Qnetic Corporation, the mechanical energy storage system provider ... At its simplest, a flywheel is a rotating mechanical device designed to store energy as rotational kinetic energy.

For example, the device could make renewable energy grids ... along with others such as solar panels that work at night or China's flywheel energy storage project, are key to cutting back on ...

The demonstration project is an example of China's burgeoning energy storage economy. Building on its leadership in electric ...

Since the flywheel is activated by braking and the duration of the energy storage - that is to say the length of time the flywheel spins - is limited, the technology is at its most effective ...
