Flywheel energy storage (FES) works by spinning a rotor () and maintaining the energy in the system as . When energy is extracted from the system, the flywheel's rotational speed is reduced as a consequence of the principle of ; adding energy to the system correspondingly results in an increase in the speed of the flywheel. W.

Compared with other ways to store electricity, FES systems have long lifetimes (lasting decades with little or no maintenance; full-cycle lifetimes quoted for flywheels range from in excess of 10 , up to 10 , cycles of use), high (100–130 W·h/kg, or 360–500 kJ/kg), and large maximum power output. The (ratio of energy out per energy in) of flywheels, also known as , can be as high as 90%. Typical capacities range from 3 to 13.
