Abstract

A flywheel energy storage fan includes a base seat, a fan electrical apparatus serving as a motor or a generator and a flywheel energy storage device having a flywheel rotary body. The base seat has a case section and a central column section disposed on the case section. The case section has a vacuumed chamber and a bearing cup disposed in the vacuumed chamber. The fan electrical apparatus has a rotational shaft. The rotational shaft is rotatably disposed in the central column section and the bearing cup. The flywheel rotary body is disposed on the rotational shaft in the vacuumed chamber. The flywheel energy storage fan is able to save electrical energy.
