Abstract

A high speed rotor for use with a flywheel comprising a hub, a rim centered with respect to said hub, connecting arms, each in the form of an elongated loop connecting said rim to said hub. The inner end of each loop is centered and maintained against the centrifugal force through a central member belonging to the hub while the outer end of said loop is bearing against the rim, a mass included within said outer end providing elongation of the loop under the effect of centrifugal force to ensure constant contact between said connecting arms and said rim.
