Abstract
Results of spin tests performed during theoretical and experimental research aimed at developing advanced flywheels, are reported. The main objective of the work was to develop some prototypes of low cost advanced flywheels which could operate safely in the medium-energy density range. Composite material rotors, both disc and rim shaped, and quasi-circular ones were tested. The results obtained with bare steel wire quasi-circular flywheels allowed the design of prototypes with 2 and 5 kWh operating energy capacities which are now being evaluated.
