Abstract
An electro-mechanical kinetic energy storage device includes an input port, an output port, and a tertiary port separate from and magnetically coupled to the input port and the output port. The input port is configured to receive a first input electrical energy from a first electrical source for inducing mechanical energy into the electro-mechanical kinetic energy storage device. The output port is configured output a first converted electrical energy to a first load in which the outputted electrical energy is generated from the induced mechanical energy. The tertiary port is configured to receive a second input electrical energy from a second electrical source for inducing the mechanical energy, and output a second converted electrical energy to a second load, the second converted electrical energy generated from the induced mechanical energy.
