Abstract:
A device for storing kinetic energy, which has a flywheel in a housing. The flywheel is mounted in the housing via a shaft. A motor-generator unit is provided for storing energy as well as for energy recovery. In order to improve efficiency, a vacuum pump for evacuating the interior is arranged in the housing. The vacuum pump is disposed on the shaft.
