The energy sector has been at a crossroads for a rather long period of time when it comes to storage and use of its energy. The purpose of this study is to build a system that can store and disseminate energy in a simple and affordable way, which can be improved with more research with this study serving as a foundation. For this study, energy generation and even control engineering was integrated with the field of material science by evaluating the energy storage in the said material. After the completion of the bearing system, the flywheel levitated at about 20mm above the assembly area and it spins for a relatively long period of about 25s by producing a kinetic energy of 35J at an rpm of 320. This newly developed alternative way of generating electricity by using kinetic energy produces 10v of electricity. This study provides an insight of magnetism in bearing systems for the next evolution of renewable energy.
