    Maximizing KE in flywheel energy storage system (KERPS)

    Thank you for the help. I understand the question now. KERPS: kinetic energy recovery system in cars My guess to the questions above: When it spins too fast, there will be a bigger frictional force.. Energy will be lost quickly. When you slow it down to fast, Torque is too huge and breaks...
