Flywheel Power Boosters have practically unlimited charge/discharge cycles providing 40x more cycles than similar battery systems.
Flywheels can store and discharge energy much quicker than other energy storage systems, delivering a premium ultra-fast charging experience.
Our Flywheel Power Boosters use no toxic or rare earth materials and have a minimal carbon footprint. They are aligned with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals and are UL and CE certified.
Flywheel Power Boosters provide an energy boost when needed to reduce demand charges without grid upgrade costs.
First, ZOOZTER-100 is connected to the grid, using a standard 3-phase connection.
This energy is then used to accelerate several flywheel modules made up of a mass that rotates around an axis and, by using patented “frictionless” levitation at 17,000 RPM, stores it as kinetic energy.
Once an EV is plugged into the charger, the flywheel decelerates while converting the kinetic energy back into electrical energy, and then into the EV charger, increasing available grid power by up to 100 Kilowatts and providing the boost necessary for ultra-fast charging – in minutes!
Acceleration – The flywheel’s integrated motor accelerates the flywheel’s rotation to a very high speed, converting the electrical energy from the grid to kinetic energy stored in the flywheel.
Levitation – Once the flywheel is fully charged, it needs only minimal energy to maintain speed through the power of inertia. Reduced friction is crucial here to ensure minimal energy loss.
Deceleration – The integrated motor/generator slows the flywheel’s rotation converting the stored kinetic energy to electrical energy. The energy is then discharged quickly to the connected ultra-fast charging system through the local grid.
