In the 1950s, flywheel-powered buses, known as, were used in () and () and there is ongoing research to make flywheel systems that are smaller, lighter, cheaper and have a greater capacity. It is hoped that flywheel systems can replace conventional chemical batteries for mobile applications, such as for electric vehicles. Proposed flywheel systems would eliminate many of th.

A typical system consists of a flywheel supported by connected to a. The flywheel and sometimes motor–generator may be enclosed in a to reduce friction and energy loss. First-generation flywheel energy-storage systems use a large flywheel rotating on mechanical bearings. Newer systems use composite that have a hi.
