  2. Flywheel energy storage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flywheel_energy_storage

    NASA G2 flywheel. Flywheel energy storage (FES) works by accelerating a rotor to a very high speed and maintaining the energy in the system as rotational energy.When energy is extracted from the system, the flywheel's rotational speed is reduced as a consequence of the principle of conservation of energy; adding energy to the system correspondingly results in an increase in the speed of the ...

    According to the Sagnac effect, rotation induces a small difference between the time it takes light to traverse the ring in the two directions.This introduces a tiny separation between the frequencies of the counter-propagating beams, a motion of the standing wave pattern within the ring, and thus a beat pattern when those two beams interfere outside the ring.
