Reinforced plastics make flywheels safer

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

Safer versions of flywheels made using composites are described. Applications are foreseen in car power systems, household electrical systems and space satellites. The new products are expected to allow fail-safe or limited-failure flywheels, reducing the risk of catastrophic failure. The materials used include light-weight carbon, glass or synthetic fibres formed into a continuous filament and wound around a spindle or mandrel.
