Literature survey, Report TT.1039, Transport Engineering and Logistics.
In this report the results are presented of research which has been done on the forees and the torques that are required to turn the axis of a fast revolving flywheel. The torques are to be used to manipulate free hanging cargoes. This turns out to be possible when two properly lined up wheels are used. Problematical points of the construction are discussed on the basis of a pre-design of a device for the handling of 20' containers. Furthermore the, theoretical, operating capacities of this design are discussed.
