Abstract
A wheel structure such as a flywheel with hub and rim adapted for use at high angular velocities including a strong, compact and perfectly balanced coiling formed by a radiating winding of at least two cables linking the wheel hub to the wheel rim and enveloping the rim. Also the method of manufacturing of the wheel structure by winding of the cables between the wheel hub and wheel rim by cables continuously dispensed under constant tension looped around the wheel rim.
