Can a Flywheel Power a House?
What determines whether any flywheel system can support household loads: stored energy, power rating, conversion and recharge.
Start with loads
A house contains loads ranging from small electronics to high-starting-current motors and heating/cooling equipment. 'Power a house' is therefore not one fixed requirement.
Power versus energy
Power (watts) tells you how much can run at once. Energy (watt-hours) tells you for how long. A viable system needs both adequate output and enough stored energy.
Safety and integration
Whole-home electrical integration can require transfer equipment, overcurrent protection, grounding and code-compliant installation. Use qualified professionals where required.
