The amount of energy stored in a flywheel is proportional to the square of its rotational speed. Energy is
transferred to a flywheel by applying torque to it, thereby increasing its rotational speed, increases its
stored energy. Conversely, a flywheel releases stored energy by applying torque to a mechanical load,
thereby, decreasing its rotational speed.

Energy Stored in the Flywheel
The amount of energy stored in a flywheel is proportional to the square of its rotational speed. Energy is
transferred to a flywheel by applying torque to it, thereby increasing its rotational speed, increases its
stored energy. Conversely, a flywheel releases stored energy by applying torque to a mechanical load,
thereby, decreasing its rotational speed.
Let
E = Stored energy in the flywheel
m = Mass of the flywheel in kg
k = Radius of gyration of the flywheel in meters

Note: the radius of gyration (k) may be taken equal to the mean radius of the rim (R), because the
thickness of the rim is very small as compared to the diameter of the rim. Therefore, substituting k = R:
∆E= ( m ) ( R 2 )( ω2 ) ( Cs )
V = ω (R)
∆E= ( m ) ( v 2) ( Cs )
Note: The velocity of the flywheel is constant with a value of 7.3 rad/s. Multiply the angular velocity to its
radius to convert the velocity of the flywheel in m/s.

Specific Strength
The specific strength is a material's strength (force per unit area at failure) divided by its density. The
design of the project considered the ratio of the tensile strength of the material divided by its density. Higher
material strength and lower density is preferred.

Ranking Score
The governing rank is the subjective choice of the designer. In assigning the value for the criterion’s
importance and the ability to satisfy the criterion, a desired value was chosen that will respond to the level
of importance of the constraints. The subjective value depends on the value initial computed.
Figure 4. 1. Criterion Rank Representation
Figure 4-1 shows the criterion ranking with respect to the level of importance to the designer’s level from
lowest to highest or not preferred to preferred designs.
Table 4-1 shows the project design criteria, which indicate the range and constraint. The project has budget
limitation, stored energy in the flywheel, availability, and tensile strength.
