Abstract
In one embodiment of the present invention, an electrical generating system includes a flywheel having an electrical generator rotor portion. The flywheel is at least partially enclosed by a housing. One or more electrical generator stator portions are mounted in opposition to the electrical generator rotor portion such so as by attaching the electrical generator stator portions to extend through the housing. The electrical generator stator portions each have a direct-current output, the direct-current outputs capable of being coupled together in parallel. Where a variable number of electrical loads are available on a given model of motor vehicle, a variable number of electrical generator stator portions may be provided.
