Summary
This is the final report on the design and fabrication of containment housings for use in burst tests of composite flywheel rotors and the continued development of related containment technology. Two housing designs representative of a type basically suitable for passenger car vehicle applications were developed. Two units were fabricated for use with the General Electric hybrid rotor and one for the Garrett AiResearch multi-ring rotor. These had outside diameters and weights of 21.2 in. and 89 lb. (GE) and 30.0 in. and 204 lb. (Garrett) respectively. The design of both housing types was similar to the conceptual design. Only one containment test was performed, involving a General Electric hybrid rotor mounted within the corresponding experimental housing. The rotor underwent a complete burst at a stored energy level of 648 wh, a condition which greatly exceeded the design capacity of the housing.
