At its core, a flywheel energy storage system stores energy in the form of rotational kinetic energy. The system consists of a large rotating mass, or rotor, that spins inside a vacuum-sealed container. When energy is extracted from the system, the flywheel's rotational speed is reduced as a consequence of the principle of conservation of energy; adding energy to the. . Flywheel energy storage is an exciting solution for efficient and sustainable energy management. From stabilizing New York City's subway system to keeping data centers humming during blackouts [7], these mechanical marvels are finally getting their time in the spotlight.
