High-Level Project Summary
Several regions have less access to energy. The photovoltaic modules, when fixedly arranged on surfaces, present poor performance at dawn and at sunset. We must follow the movement of the sun, to make better use of the available energy. We use a Flywheel energy storage (FES), that is also a sun tracker by the principle of inertia. Rotating axis remembers and holds fixed direction of the Sun. The store of energy described on https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flywheel_energy_storage be used as a gyroscope. In addition to increasing the daily conversion of solar energy we have solved two common battery problems:1) Reverse Logistics and2) Low lifespan See more at https://youtu.be/ytjnXZO1jU4

Detailed Project Description
How does it work?
Form of energy storage that is also a sun tracker by the principle of inertia.
What benefits does it have?
Use of Flywheel energy storage (FES),
What do you hope to achieve?
Increasing the daily conversion of solar energy into electrical energy by tracking the sun, we have solved two common battery problems:
- Reverse Logistics and
- low lifespan
What tools, coding languages, hardware, or software did you use to develop your project?
My natural intelligence and connection to the cosmus.
Space Agency Data
NASA G2 flywheel for spacecraft energy storage
This was a design funded by NASA's Glenn Research Center and intended for component testing in a laboratory environment. It used a carbon fiber rim with a titanium hub designed to spin at 60,000 rpm, mounted on magnetic bearings. Weight was limited to 250 pounds. Storage was 525 W-hr (1.89 MJ) and could be charged or discharged at 1 kW.[36] The working model shown in the photograph at the top of the page ran at 41,000 rpm on September 2, 2004.
