    Abstract: The present invention provides a flywheel having a high energy density, a designing method which facilitates the designing of the flywheel, and an energy storage system which can achieve both an increase in storage energy and a reduction in weight by adopting the flywheel. A flywheel A includes: a low-density disk 10 having a low average density; and a high-density outer edge section 11 which is provided on the outer circumference of the low-density disk 10, and has an average density higher than that of the low-density disk 10.

    Abstract: A constant stress solid disk rotor of a flywheel has an outer shape having a plane-symmetric upper surface and lower surface, an outer circumferential radius b, and a rotation center thickness h0, and includes a thickness decreasing region which decreases monotonously in thickness from a rotation center to a connection radius a and a constant thickness region located on an outer edge of the thickness decreasing region and having a constant thickness ha from the connection radius a to the outer circumferential radius b. Shape parameters including the outer circumferential radius b, the rotation center thickness h0, the connection radius a, and the outer edge thickness ha satisfy an equation below. Here, ν is a Poisson's ratio of a rotor material.
