Inaugural lecture--Department of Electrical Engineering, Rand Afrikaans University, 17 August 1981@@There are compelling reasons to undertake the development of efficient temporary storage techniques for energy in either electrical or mechanical form. Such energy stores would ensure:
1.
the more efficient exploitation of existing energy sources and generating equipment
2.
that the future exploitation of unconventional sources becomes more practical and
3.
that the future prospects of the individual electric road vehicle look brighter.
A hitherto unknown technique of storing energy in kinetic form, which holds the promise of low cost for large plants, is presented.
