A high energy storage flywheel having a rotor and annular disk which are of a composite material. A metal hub is secured to a shaft and joined to the disk at a hoop. The hub has opposite sections which are of a generally double conical shaft. A concentric rim extends around each hub section and upon rotation the hub sections expansivity deforms about the rim to apply a compressive force to the disk to maintain a substantially stress free condition at the rotor and disk interface.
L'invention concerne un volant pouvant emmagasiner des quantités élevées d'énergie et muni d'un rotor et d'un disque annulaire faits en matériaux composites. Un moyeu métallique est solidarisé à un arbre au niveau d'un anneau. Le moyeu possède des parties opposées qui, de manière générale, se présentent comme un double arbre conique. Une jante concentrique s'étend sur le pourtour de chaque partie du moyeu. Sous l'effet de la rotation, les parties du moyeu se déforment de manière extensive par rapport à la jante en exerçant une force de compression contre le disque afin que la jonction rotor-disque soit sensiblement exempte de contrainte.
