Zusammenfassung:The invention relates to inertial energy storage devices comprised of anisotropic filamentary elements and comprises several embodiments of a disc flywheel which, although consisting essentially of anisotropic elements, is effectively isotropic in total structural character. A preferred embodiment of the invention is generally formed by weaving anisotropic filamentary elements together at regular angles to each other, certain of the woven anisotropic elements being parallel to each other to form essentially unidirectional layers within each woven disc-like unit. The woven disc-like units thus formed are bonded together to form a structure of useable size, the units being either randomly oriented relative to each other or oriented at regular angles to each other.
