A flywheel system stores energy mechanically in the form of kinetic energy by spinning a mass at high speed. Electrical inputs spin the flywheel rotor and keep it spinning until called upon to release the stored energy. The amount of energy available and its duration is controlled by the mass and speed of the flywheel.

Revterra stores energy in the motion of a flywheel. Electric energy is converted into kinetic energy by a spinning rotor. When needed, that kinetic energy is converted back to electricity. Revterra''s innovative approach leverages passively stable magnetic bearings and low-cost steel alloys to improve efficiency and reduce cost.
