    The BiPod uses twin fuselages joined by a wing surface. Each fuselage has tandem wheels. The wings, stabilizers and tail tips are removable for road operations. The BiPod is driven as a car from the cockpit in the left-hand fuselage; and flown as an aircraft from the cockpit in the right-hand fuselage.

  3. Dual-mass flywheel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dual-mass_flywheel

    Dual-mass flywheel section. A dual-mass flywheel (DMF or DMFW) is a rotating mechanical device that is used to provide continuous energy (rotational energy) in systems where the energy source is not continuous, the same way as a conventional flywheel acts, but damping any violent variation of torque or revolutions that could cause an unwanted vibration.

  4. Flywheel energy storage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flywheel_energy_storage

    NASA G2 flywheel. Flywheel energy storage (FES) works by accelerating a rotor to a very high speed and maintaining the energy in the system as rotational energy.When energy is extracted from the system, the flywheel's rotational speed is reduced as a consequence of the principle of conservation of energy; adding energy to the system correspondingly results in an increase in the speed of the ...

    Small flywheels made of lead are found in children's toys. [citation needed] Cast iron flywheels are used in old steam engines. Flywheels used in car engines are made of cast or nodular iron, steel or aluminum. [16] Flywheels made from high-strength steel or composites have been proposed for use in vehicle energy storage and braking systems.
