FlyWheel:Rotational Speed

Rotational Speed
The second factor determining the energy a flywheel stores is the rotational speed. 
 
The energy a flywheel stores is proportional to the square of the rotational speed. Therefore, if a flywheel’s speed doubles, the amount of energy it stores will quadruple.
 
Rotational speed is a factor that must be measured using a tachometer
