Flywheel Energy Storage Prototype with Active Magnetic Levitation (Demo)
High-speed rotating steel rotor supported by electromagnet levitation bearings to reduce friction during kinetic energy storage.
Project Overview
Demonstrates mechanical battery technology for grid frequency stabilization. An electromagnetic coil with analog optical position feedback levitates a rotating rotor shaft, which stores kinetic energy from surplus power and generates electricity during peak surges.
