Product: Pentadyne GTX Flywheel Energy Storage
Manufacturer: Pentadyne Power Corporation
Pentadyne’s GTX flywheel is a short-duration energy-storage product used to replace uninterruptible power-supply batteries in data centers, health care, manufacturing, and other applications. It utilizes a graphite-composite flywheel magnetically levitated in an argon-filled, vacuum-sealed unit to store kinetic energy for use when the normal power supply is disrupted and before a backup generator starts or power is restored. pentadyne.com
