Why?

A flywheel can store energy very efficiently, so it could be used to extend power in regions where power is off for long periods of time. Many power plants use large flywheels, but we want ours to be smaller, and easy to assemble.

How it works

The amount of kenetic energy stored in a flywheel is stated as

where m is the mass of the flywheel and s is the speed.

Next steps

1. Incorporate a weight
2. Add contactless spinning up
3. Add contactless power extraction
4. Create infographics/kits about the battery?
