⚙️ How It Works

Backyard Energy Flywheels: Simpler, Safer, Smarter Storage—That Grows With You

🌱 ROTOR SEED – The Core Technology

At the center of every system is our kinetic flywheel: a high-speed rotor sealed in a vacuum.
Charge it, and it spins—storing electricity as pure motion.
Need power? It instantly reverses the process, delivering clean energy with zero lag.

Charge → Coast → Discharge

• ⚡ Charges from solar, grid, or wind
  
  

• 🔁 Coasts in vacuum with minimal loss
  
  

• ⚙️ Delivers power instantly (<100 ms)
  
  

Unlike batteries, it never degrades. Just spins.

🚛 ROTOR POD – Portable & Modular

Each pod is a deployable unit—like a power module in a container.
Perfect for solar time-shifting, demand shaving, or critical backup.

• Self-contained, forklift-movable
  
  

• 50 kW / 200 kWh modules
  
  

• Plug-and-play with SCADA, Modbus, OPC-UA
  
  

• Built for -40°C to +50°C environments
  
  

Use one for a CNC shop or solar install—stack more as you grow.

🌳 ROTOR PLANT – Facility-Scale Power

Link multiple pods to create a full flywheel plant.
Handle peak loads, smooth power quality, and keep industrial operations online.

• Scale up to 1 MW+
  
  

• Buffer against outages, brownouts, or grid instability
  
  

• Ideal for foundries, food processors, data centers, and remote infrastructure
  
  

Where lithium requires HVAC and fire suppression—flywheels just work.

🌲🌲🌲 ROTOR FOREST – Resilient Energy Networks

Deploy a fleet of rotor plants to create microgrids, backup for rural infrastructure, or energy stabilization for renewables.

• Grid-edge frequency control
  
  

• Remote tribal lands or telecom towers
  
  

• Long-life storage that outlasts lithium
  
  

• Fully recyclable, no chemical waste
  
  

Flywheel forests offer the backbone for a decentralized, fire-safe, and future-ready energy system.
