Abstract
A mechanical energy accumulator system has a housing, at least a pair of conical flywheels rotatable about a first axis within the housing, a shaft affixed to an interior of each of the conical flywheels so as to be rotatable in order to rotate the flywheel, a first magnetic bearing affixed to the housing so as to face an interior of the housing, and a first counter-magnetic bearing affixed to one end of the shaft. The first counter-magnetic bearing facing and adjacent to the first magnetic bearing such that the magnetic forces in the first magnetic bearing and in the first counter-magnetic bearing cause the first magnetic bearing and the first counter-magnetic bearing to be slightly spaced from each other in a friction-free relationship.

A mechanical energy accumulator system comprising:
- a housing;
- at least a pair of conical flywheels rotatable about a first axis within said housing;
- a shaft affixed to an interior of each of said at least a pair of conical flywheels, said shaft being rotatable so as to rotate the flywheel;
- a first magnetic bearing affixed to said housing so as to face in interior of said housing;
- and
- a first counter-magnetic bearing affixed to one end of said shaft, said first counter-magnetic bearing facing and adjacent to said first magnetic bearing such that magnetic forces in said first magnetic bearing and in said first counter-magnetic bearing cause the first magnetic bearing and said first counter-magnetic bearing to be slightly spaced from each other in generally friction-free relationship.
