To understand this, we must remember that until recently, flywheel batteries were always discussed only as single-flywheel batteries, until the invention of the X-Fly Wheel, of course…<\/p>

But let’s go back to flywheels.<\/p>

The flywheel battery, or the concept of using the flywheel as a device to store energy, has ancient origins. There is no specific “invention” date for the flywheel battery as a concept, but it is known that the use of flywheels as energy storage devices dates back centuries. The earliest references to flywheels date back to before 2000 BC, from the time of the potter’s wheels (1) and spindles in ancient Mesopotamia used to produce threads (2).<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Subsequently, flywheels played an important role during the Industrial Revolution, when they were used in engines and machines to dampen the power supplied by the driving mechanism.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

However, the first flywheel used exclusively for energy storage was built by John A. Howell in 1883 (3) for a military application. In this case, the flywheel installed in the Howell Mark I torpedo functioned as a propulsion source and provided directional stability.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
