Flywheel systems of the capacity required to replace the batteries of electric cars require bearings with very low friction losses. The requirements of these bearings are discussed and quantized for a typical case. A magnetic thrust bearing and liquid-film radial bearings are proposed to meet these requirements. Calculated dimensions, load capacities and power losses of these bearings are given for a particular flywheel system design. (Wassmann)
