Title: Wind power and flywheel apparatus

Abstract: A flywheel is provided having a plurality of radially extending spokes having axial bores. Mercury disposed in the axial bores moves toward the hub at low speeds to decrease the angular inertia of the wheel and toward the rim at higher speeds to increase the angular inertia. The flywheel may be used with the wind machine apparatus described or other rotating apparatus.
