Most motors today are not designed to recover energy efficiently. They also typically have just one output and struggle to balance power with lightweight construction. This limits their use in applications that demand fast response, high speeds, and compact, efficient energy usage—such as in robotics, electric vehicles, or advanced machinery.
What the Invention Is
This new motor design introduces a flywheel motor that includes two output shafts and a flywheel. The flywheel stores energy when the motor is running and can release that energy when needed, much like a battery—but mechanically. One output shaft comes directly from the motor, while the second is housed inside the flywheel.
What Makes It Unique
The inventive step is the combination of a dual-shaft system with an energy-storing flywheel, allowing for multi-directional power output and energy recovery—something rarely seen in current motors. Importantly, the shafts are designed to move relative to one another, making power transmission smoother and more flexible. The system is also optimized to store energy without adding too much weight.
Tangible Benefits
- Energy efficiency: Part of the energy used is recovered and reused.
- Two outputs: It can power multiple systems simultaneously.
- High-speed performance: Capable of ultra-fast operation.
- Compact and optimized weight: Ideal for space- and weight-sensitive uses.
Broader Impact
This motor could benefit industries like transportation, renewable energy, aerospace, and automation—anywhere that efficient energy use and high performance are critical. It supports sustainability by conserving energy, reducing waste, and enabling more efficient machines.
Bottom Line
It’s a smart, multi-output motor that saves energy, performs faster, and adapts better than many traditional designs—potentially transforming how motors are used across industries.
