Build up/ Discharge Energy Quickly

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on the need for a method to quickly store and discharge electrical energy. The original poster seeks to understand the mechanisms for rapid energy build-up and release, emphasizing speed over quantity. Suggestions include the use of capacitors, which are capable of fast energy storage and discharge. The poster expresses a desire to keep details vague due to the idea's preliminary stage. Overall, the conversation highlights the importance of speed in energy management solutions.

I'm trying to figure out what I would need to do in order to make something that could quickly store/build up energy and then disperse it completely once the build up was complete; within a few seconds passing. I'm not really looking for the quantity of energy at the moment but more of the speed I can build it up and release it. Does that make sense?

Your question is a little vague. What kind of energy are you talking about? Electric? Rotating Kinetic? Something else?
 
Oh sorry about that, lol. A bit scatter-brained on occasion. I was referring to electrical energy. Also, I am trying to be somewhat vague simply because it in reference to an idea I have and try to be enigmatic with them until they bare fruit. I hope no one takes offense to that.
 
A capacitor?
 
That could work, don't know why I hadn't thought of it myself. Now I feel dumb for asking. lol. Thanks for your help.

Thread 'Motional EMF in Faraday disc, co-rotating magnet axial mean flux'

So here is the motional EMF formula. Now I understand the standard Faraday paradox that an axis symmetric field source (like a speaker motor ring magnet) has a magnetic field that is frame invariant under rotation around axis of symmetry. The field is static whether you rotate the magnet or not. So far so good. What puzzles me is this , there is a term average magnetic flux or "azimuthal mean" , this term describes the average magnetic field through the area swept by the rotating Faraday...
