First-generation flywheel energy-storage systems use a large steel flywheel rotating on mechanical bearings. Newer systems use carbon-fiber composite rotors that have a higher tensile strength than steel and can store much more energy for the same mass. [3] To reduce friction, magnetic bearings are sometimes used instead of mechanical bearings.
