Intro to the Flywheel UPS: Powered by Motion
The way to increase or decrease the flywheel''s rotational speed is by applying a torque to its axis of symmetry. In the case of a flywheel UPS, its most common function is to convert the kinetic energy it stores to produce DC power. It also provides power conditioning and run-time in short bursts in the event of a power outage.
