Previous transport flywheels (Superflywheel) have been made from composite materials consisting of a hoop of fiber held by a binding agent and lubricated with organic grease. Such flywheels have optimum weight distribution, allowing the accumulation of maximum energy, and are technologically simple. However, there are several shortcomings Fig. 2

RTC VZLYOT proposes the following technical concepts, protected by the patents: «Beforehand Broken Designs», «Quasi-Continuous Body», «Separation of Physical and Mechanical Axes of the Flywheel», automatic «Vacuomaker» and «Electromagnetic Suspension Driver».

Fig.2 The standard scheme of a hoop superflywheel: 1-shaft; 2-hub; 3-spoke; 4-basis; 5-power hoop; 6-cover; 7-body; 8-pin; 9-bearing; 10-motor-generator. The main negative factors: (1) — a destruction of spokes before reaching by a material of a hoop of critical stresses; (2) — stratification of a composite material under an operation of centrifugal forces; (3) — loss of vacuum from a microporosity of a material of a body and allocation of gases from composite materials; (4) — complexity of maintenance of the contactless suspention; (5) — complexity of transmission and pick up of accumulated energy; (6) — excessive gyroscopic moment, hindering deviation of an axis of the flywheel.

These technical advances are fundamentally new. On the basis of these solutions, a transport flywheel with an essentially higher store of energy and the specific mass parameter higher, than at the modern air power plants and current superflywheels can be developed. It is a new class of flywheel designs, which can generally be called by a Hyperflywheel.

At a comparison of the specific mass characteristics, power plants with heating engines it is necessary to estimate together with a propellant budget, required for fulfilment of task transport work. Energia of the transport flywheel is made in its mass. Therefore the replacement of the heating engine by the flywheel qualitatively changes weight balance of the power plant. Besides as is known, the power efficiency of the heat engine does not exceed 10-15 %, while at the flywheel it on operational reasons limited to 50 %.

Table 1 for gasoline should be reduced 4-5 times. Its specific power will be about 10,000 Êj/Kg. So we can see that Hyperflywheel will have about twice is lower the specific power of the gasoline. Accordingly, the summarized weight of the power plant and fuel for it will be much. significant below

Looking at it with wider viev, we can see that traditional fossil fuels (petrol, kerosene) are the result of millions of years of Mother Nature storing energy. All transport means have worked with, and still work with, a store energy. The application of Hyperflywheels will mean a transition to a more effective, repeatedly restorable energy.source for our transportation needs.
