What do you think of Mechanical Batteries? Any other technology I should look into? Be sure to check out my video on Solid State Batteries - https://youtu.be/nbpJZnLfe4k
-
clean straight forward video! awesome graphics as well
-
Thanks Again Great Video
-
There's 1 thing particularly interesting for me with flywheel batteries - how long can they store the charge? Say if I spin it to 1kW storage speed - how much of 1 kW will left after 1 month percentage wise? It should lost momentum sure, but how fast?
-
Thankyou for this video
-
Yes this is the fabulous explaination I ever seen make more like this
-
The flywheel power storage can be used for the power supply of the tram. When the tram decelerates, the flywheel is used to store power. When the tram accelerates, the flywheel supplies power to the motor.
-
Very good video about fly wheels
-
One sidenote, the energy efficiency formula at 3:00 is wrong, should be the other way around, E_out over E_in. Other than that, very informative!
-
with the new materials, nano-technology, it can be better and cheaper than batteries in near future! great video, thanks!
-
Wow another base foundation technology Going hard man I like the fragility of electronics And the reason is pretty cool
-
very useful content
-
Un vídeo excelente 👍🥂🎩
-
I was wondering how the flyweel energy storage systems works.
-
Don’t use electromagnets for the bearings use natural magnets , both pole to north … save electricity!!
-
Excellent boeta ! Very well explained, thank you. Sub'd.
-
What is the status (TRL) of this technology? What's the mean cost (MWh/Eur) one can achieve with this? And what's the capacity (MWh) available with usual examples?
-
Really interesting: Why don't they apply the Flywheel Battery to charge electric cars?
-
Ребята поинтересуйтесь работами ученого Нурбей Гулия , он сделал много практических работ в этом направлении .
-
But doesn't Earth rotation kinda drain power from flywheel? Should they be aligned to counter spin and precession of the Earth?
