Inertia Wheels
Inertia wheels are a way to store electrical energy in the form of kinetic energy. They consist of a mass rotating around an axis connected to an electric motor.
Storage phase
The motor converts incoming electrical energy into kinetic energy.
Stationary phase
The rotation of the mass is maintained at a constant speed.
Release phase
The generator converts the kinetic energy into electrical energy.
