Just totally random, but I suddenly thought of when they first introduced hybrid power into F1, and kept it quite open for the manufacturers to come up with their own solution, and at least one team (from memory) tested flywheels.
Wondered if someones done a residential scale flywheel, and it seems like there’s been at least some research into it.
Those systems more or less completely charged and discharged in each corner from memory, there wasn’t all that much energy in the system.
The only realistic use case I can think of would be keeping power on long enough for a generator to spin up. Otherwise you’d have a moving part with a scary amount of inertia that needs routine maintenance, and otherwise just sits there.
True. Does sound like a lot of maintenance and dangerr
