Zusammenfassung: | Disclosed is an apparatus for supporting a flywheel on a floating vessel, the apparatus comprising: a support for the flywheel; at least one tilt sensor for measuring an angle of slope relative to the Earth, the at least one tilt sensor being arranged to detect a change of an angle of slope of the floating vessel relative to the Earth; and at least one driver for manoeuvring the support relative to the floating vessel, based on the measured angle of slope from the at least one tilt sensor, wherein the at least one driver is operable to manoeuvre the support so as to counteract a change of an angle of slope of the flywheel relative to the Earth due to the detected change of an angle of slope of the floating vessel. |
