Sentence examples for development of the flywheel from inspiring English sources

Results from this study will contribute to further development of the flywheel that has recently re-emerged as a promising application for energy storage due to significant improvements in composite materials and technology.

The results indicate that the designed rotor and driving system have potential solutions for the development of the superconducting flywheel energy storage.

Instead, energy from the flywheel is transferred to a transmission via magnets arranged around the circumference of the flywheel and in a ring outside the flywheel housing.

Distances are measured by turns of the flywheel linked to a computer chip in the machine.

During the longer, nonactive period, the speed of the flywheel is built up slowly by a comparatively low-powered motor.

Flywheels, by contrast, merely turn one sort of kinetic energy (of the wheels) directly into another (of the flywheel), which is far less wasteful.Moreover, unlike batteries, which need to be replaced every few years, flywheels are designed to last the lifetime of the vehicle, and contain no nasty chemicals which need to be disposed of.

This doughnut-shaped flywheel would reach such breakneck speeds by concentrating most of its mass in the rim, held in place with a thin carbon-fibre envelope, leaving most of the flywheel's disk hollow.

The outer rim of the flywheel usually carries gear teeth so as to mesh with the starter motor.

And SoulCycle is still expanding: This fall, a location will open near Union Square, within spitting distance of the Flywheel flagship.

"Clearly to do that we have to run the flywheel in a vacuum, or the air friction that we would get on the outside of the flywheel would cause very high energy loss," says Greenwood.

The acceleration of the flywheel was computed every 50 ms from the flywheel velocity data given by a disc with 360 slots fixed on the flywheel, passing in front of a photoelectric cell (669 impulses for each pedal revolution).
