August 20, 2019People are increasingly becoming more and more interested in storing energy in their home. In fact, there are those out there who will generate, store and sell their electricity to turn a profit, forming a makeshift business out of their supply. You too might be interested in doing this yourself, or you may be wanting to store energy for conservation, self-sufficiency or for environmental reasons. However, what’s referred to as storing energy isn’t often really, well, storing it. This is because it all practically moves at the speed of light and can’t just sit stagnant in a jar or box in your cupboard until you want to use it. Consequently, most times energy needs to be repurposed and converted into some other form – unless you use capacitors from RS Components which can store an electrical charge for some time. Consequently, here’s how to otherwise ‘store’ energy in your home. High speed flywheel Flywheels have enjoyed multiple uses through the years in engines and machinery, originating in the industrial revolution. They produce and store power at high speeds in their spinning, with the latest iterations trying to counter things like air resistance and friction with magnets to keep them spinning for longer periods of time. Still, they don’t last too long, but can store energy for a limited time. Like other technologies, flywheels have grown to be more compact and efficient as the years have gone by. They used to be bulky metal wheels during the industrial revolution, and now they’re smaller and made of carbon fibre, easily fitting inside a home. The faster a flywheel spins, the more energy it can store, so keep that in mind when building or buying your own. They’re highly flexible and adapt based on your needs but will only store energy for short...
