ABSTRACT A safety housing for a modern high speed rotating flywheel which is designed to dissipate the kinetic energy of the flywheel safely in the event of a catastrophic failure, wherein a coaxially mounted, rotatable and optionally brakable traveller member is interposed between the rotating flywheel and the stationary housing supporting the flywheel. Means for applying a braking torque between the rotating traveller and the stationary housing are provided and can take the form of a mechanical, air, hydraulic or electric brake, or use of an energy dissipating fluid in the space between the housing and the rotating traveller.
