The performance of vehicle systems incorporating energy storage flywheels was investigated in a recent Aerospace study for the Department of Energy. A synopsis of the study effort and of results obtained to date is presented. The effort involved an in-depth assessment of flywheel system benefits in two vehicle applications: a four-passenger commuter car with electric drive (flywheel range extension application) and a six-passenger family car with conventional heat engine drive (flywheel fuel conservation application). The special case of the six-passenger vehicle as used in taxicab service was also investigated. The study examined a number of possible component design/selection alternatives for flywheel rotors, continuously variable transmissions, batteries, motors, and other propulsion elements. Results of the assessment are provided for the case of a series-configuration heat engine/flywheel drivetrain as used in the passenger car and urban taxi vehicle missions. (ERA citation 06:028931)
