This paper describes the research and development work on a high-density mechanical energy-storing superhigh-speed autodrive- and/or autoadsorbable flywheel (A2F) for flywhell-powered smart tri-mode supercars (advanced ultralight electrics and hybrids). The use of a self-contained A2F secondary energy source has the potential to eliminate the numerous safety and routing problems associated with a fire hazard or contain corrosive materials. An alteration to a conventional chemoelectrical storage battery is developed consisting of the high-density mechanical energy-storing superhigh-speed twin rotor stacked A2F capable of storing, for example 1.24 kWh at 5,000 rps (300,000 rpm). Numerous interdependent automotive chassis motion spheres are necessary for successful interfacing with a smart tri-mode supercar. Each of this automotive functional spheres are evaluated and will be tested individually. Finally, the entire smart tri-mode supercar will be road tested. The tests will indicate that the A2F secondary energy source sphere can function and operate a smart tri-mode supercar. The economics of the A2F secondary energy source sphere and the design of required support chassis motion spheres were not adressed in the research and development work.
