VDC Technology
Serving as a mechanical battery, the flywheel is a kinetic
energy storage system that replaces traditional backup batteries
and performs in applications where batteries and other storage
devices fall short. The VYCON flywheel stores kinetic energy
in the form of a rotating mass and is designed for high
power, short discharge applications. VYCON’s patented technology
used within the flywheel includes the flywheel hub that
is formed from aerospace-grade steel, a high speed permanent
magnet motor/generator, contact-free magnetic bearings that
levitate and sustain the rotor during operation, and a superior
touch-screen control system that provides vital information
on system performance. These innovative technologies enable
the VYCON flywheel to charge and discharge at high rates
for countless cycles without degradation.
