FESS Technology: Systems and Materials Applied in Passenger Transport

A study of the use of kinetic energy through the technology of FESS inertia wheels has been carried out. It details the operation principle, its internal structure, configurations and various technical considerations that were necessary for its implementation in several applications at present. It identifies the uses in means of transport of KERS systems, the use of levitation technology through the HTS, hybrid applications and Gimbal systems among others. The use of materials is defined as it is essential for their energy capacity and final cost in the development of this technology. Finally, the potential of a flywheel and the limitations it faces in the field of construction, costs, materials and energy density are analyzed. It is concluded that the flyers have been integrated into simple and advanced applications, with advantages such as a low environmental cost, long service life, low maintenance and low friction, reduction of emissions, among others. Among the disadvantages are the low energy density, costs, use of materials that are not very accessible, weight, among others; therefore, current research works in these fields.
