Abstract:
A flywheel formed of a composite material having fibers, oriented substantially in a circumferential direction around the flywheel, embedded in a matrix material. The flywheel having an inner surface, an outer surface, and a thickness therebetween and defining an axis of rotation. A plurality of load masses are distributed circumferentially on the inner surface at a longitudinal segment along the axis. A rotation of the flywheel about the axis with a rotational velocity generating hoop stress in the fibers in the circumferential direction and through-thickness stress is generated in the matrix material in a radial direction. Each load mass produces a force on the inner surface operative to reduce the maximum through-thickness stress in the matrix material as the flywheel rotates about the axis. The rotational velocity otherwise sufficient to produce structural failure of the matrix material produces structural failure of the fibers and not the matrix material.

Claim (Index 11):
The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein each load mass in the plurality of load masses is formed of a permanent magnetic material and has a magnetic polarity, the magnetic polarities of the load masses alternating circumferentially around the flywheel, and further comprising a stator having a plurality of conductive windings disposed thereon, the stator being disposed in operative relationship to the plurality of load masses such that rotation of the flywheel relative to the stator produces a flow of electrical current in the windings.
