Mechanical Battery | Flywheel Energy Storage
In the late 1940s a Swiss company- Oerlikon, developed a peculiar kind of public bus, the Gyrobus . It was a electrically powered bus made to operate over short distances and low traffic regions with zero greenhouse gas emission. The thing that made the Gyrobus so unique was that instead of any electro-chemical batteries or any internal combustion engines it was powe…
