Research abstract
Composite flywheel rotors can achieve high performance with new design and manufacturing methods. This is done through novel hybridization of all hoop wound rotors and one stage cure without wrinkles. The rotors will be inspected before static, fatigueand spin tests. The predicted burst speed will be compared with spin test data. A flywheel system will be evaluated using our high performance rotor in a commercial unit.
