Flywheel energy storage works by accelerating a rotor (flywheel) to a very high speed and maintaining the energy in the system as rotational energy. The energy is converted back by slowing down the flywheel.Flywheel energy storage system is one form of energy storage devices. It is basically a rechargeable battery. It is used to absorb electric energy from a source‚ store it as kinetic energy of rotation‚ and then deliver it to a load at the appropriate time‚ in the form that meets the load needs

ASTOUNDING SOLAR ENERGY FACTS What is solar energy? People often think of solar energy as solar panels mounted on roofs in sunny neighborhoods. This is only part of solar energy (“Solar energy facts‚”2012). Solar energy is the oldest energy source. Plants‚ animal and the microbial life have been using it as a principle energy source since the times of creation. It is in the form of heat and light. In the past years‚ people have tapped solar energy enabling it to be used at all times; including
