ABSTRACT

This study conducted the design, fabrication, and experimental validation of an elastic-material-based power maintenance system for sustainable energy production. The proposed system combines the inertial energy of a flywheel with the restoring force of an elastic material to sustain rotational motion and convert it into electrical energy.Experimental results showed that the output was stably maintained within the range of 4.75~4.88 kW, with an energy conversion efficiency of 81.5–82.3%. In addition, simulations confirmed the potential for power generation of up to 10 kW. As the rotational speed increases, the radius and mass of the flywheel can be reduced, indicating the possibility of system weight reduction and efficiency improvement.Since the proposed system does not depend on weather conditions, it can complement the intermittency issues of conventional renewable energy sources and can be applied to distributed power generation and industrial machinery operation. However, the sustainable operating time in this study was limited to approximately 3 minutes, and additional energy supply and system improvements are required for long-term operation.Future research should focus on design optimization, material development, and durability enhancement to improve continuous operation performance and achieve commercialization potential.
