| Description | An engineering model of a momentum wheel is described that is suspended by magnetic bearings. It consists of a mechanical assembly on the right, and associated electronics on the left. The momentum wheel is mounted at the center of the rotor shaft and the magnetic bearings are on each end. The rotor is magnetically suspended so there is no physical contact between the rotor and the support structure. The system, therefore, can operate directly in the vacuum environment without lubrication; and it has virtually unlimited operating lifetime, independent of speed. |
