In a digital-first world, uptime is everything.
From AI workloads to mission-critical transactions, the modern data center canât afford a flickerâlet alone a failure. Backyard Energy flywheel systems provide instant, high-reliability power for edge, colocation, and hyperscale environments.
Unlike diesel generators or lithium-ion UPS systems, flywheels:
Respond in <100 milliseconds
Donât degrade with age or cycles
Require no thermal management or ventilation
Pose zero fire or thermal runaway risk
Our systems seamlessly bridge short-term power interruptions and provide clean backup to ride through grid faults, transition to gensets, or run long-duration workloads via hybrid storage.
Flywheels offer:
Unmatched cycle life (100,000+ full discharges)
Peak demand support during load spikes
Inverter-grade power with smooth voltage delivery
Support for hybrid and renewable power architectures
Whether youâre deploying edge nodes or scaling hyperscale campuses, Backyard Energy offers modular systems that scale with your compute.
