Abstract
The author discusses energy storage in three forms of rotating machines: flywheels, homopolar generators, and compulsators (compensated pulsed alternators). The disadvantages of flywheels and homopolar generators are discussed. The requirements for shorter pulses are met by compulsators in which compensating currents reduce the armature inductance. The three methods of producing compensation, active, passive, and selectively passive, are discussed in detail
