M32 FLYWHEEL - INSTALLATION & MAINTENANCE MANUAL
1.6 - Safety Features
Amber Kinetics has developed a comprehensive, five-
step approach to flywheel safety. Our methodology
encompasses the entire spectrum from design to
manufacturing, testing, installation, and operation:
• Design: Each M32 flywheel is
designed using conservative peak
stress and cyclic fatigue margins
that are consistent with aerospace
engineering standards.
• Manufacturing: The material used
for the Flywheel Rotor is produced
using a commercially proven
manufacturing process that yields
the cleanest, highest-grade steel
available.
• Testing: Finished rotors are
scanned for both surface and bulk
defects. Each rotor is then spun
beyond its maximum rated
operating RPM before being
placed into service.
• Installation: As a redundant safety
measure, M32 flywheels are
installed either below grade or
behind surrounding earth berms.
• Operation: Each M32 flywheel is
monitored 24/7/365 by a health
monitoring system.
