Abstract
A flywheel including a bearing unit, a flywheel mass provided with at least two partial masses, and separate connecting means each connecting the bearing unit with a respective one of the at least two partial masses. Each respective partial mass and separate connecting means comprise a partial system. The partial systems are constructed such that each exhibits resonance step-up at a different frequency when subjected to an external excitation to thereby reduce the stress on the bearing unit as a result of resonance step-up at a respective one of the different resonant step-up frequencies.
