In the 1950s, flywheel-powered buses, known as gyrobuses, were used in Yverdon (Switzerland) and Ghent (Belgium) and there is ongoing research to make flywheel systems that are smaller, lighter, cheaper and have a greater capacity. It is hoped that flywheel systems can replace conventional chemical batteries for mobile applications, such as for electric vehicles. Proposed flywheel systems would eliminate many of th
Torus Spin—our flywheel energy system—provides the same stabilizing inertia to the grid as conventional power plants. Torus systems maximize grid capacity by storing excess electricity and
