Zigoorat Ltd has developed a newly configured and patented Flywheel Energy StorageSystem (FESS) for use in various applications e.g. renewable energy, transportation,uninterruptible power supplies & Smart Grids. Thw new light-weight Magnetic LevitationModule (MLM) technology as a small spinning mass eliminates the needs for bearings as themain source of mechanical failure, as well as friction, heat losses & cooling needs. Inaddition, for the same mass, Zigoorat MLM is spinning about two times faster than steel disksand hence stores four times energy than that of conventional FESS. In addition, Zigoorat'sMLM offers pump-free operation, which uses a patented molecular vacuum sleeve on theflywheel shaft. The shaft speed, combined with the sleeve's helical grooves, maintains thesystem's high vacuum. This increases the reliability & reduces losses and maintenance costsby simplifying mechanical parts.
