<div class="section abstract"><div class="htmlview paragraph">During urban driving, a significant amount of energy is lost due to continuous braking, which can be recovered and stored. The flywheel storage system (FESS) efficiently recover store the vehicle's kinetic during deceleration. However, standby losses in FESS, primarily aerodynamic drag, affect its overall efficiency. To address this issue, rotor typically housed dedicated housing maintained at low pressure using vacuum...
