How Does Home Power Shield Work?
A plain-English look at the flywheel concept behind Home Power Shield and the difference between storing and generating energy.
The advertised concept
The offer centers on a spinning flywheel and conversion of mechanical energy to electricity.
What established flywheel systems do
Flywheels store kinetic energy in a rotating mass. A motor-generator adds energy during charging and recovers energy during discharge. Bearings, containment and power electronics are important parts of engineered systems.
The key question
Where does the input energy come from? Any practical evaluation should track energy into the system, losses during storage/conversion and usable energy out.
