What are the major subcomponents of a flywheel?-45 to 45 °CProposed ConfigurationPerformanceAuxiliary Bearings – Capture rotor during launch and touchdowns. Magnetic Bearings – Used to levitate rotor. These non-contact bearings provided low loss, high speeds, and long life. Motor/Generator – Transfers energy to and from the rotor. High efficiency and specific energy is required. Housing – A structure used to hold the stationary componen...See more on ntrs.nasa.gov Department of Energy[PDF]
