Energy recovery linacs have been studied and developed over a number of decades. In the standard arrangement there is a separate particle source and particle beam dump. In this paper, a new arrangement is explored where the energy recovery linac is used as an energy source in a storage ring which has multiple beam energies. Several interesting topologies for the multiple beam energies are shown schematically. Possible energy equilibria with and without radiation damping are discussed. This idea may have applications to the problem of electron cooling.
