is this a serious proposal? ive heard of flywheels used for powering cars/buses/trains, but i havent heard anything about actual grid energy storage. is it feasible?
I'm personally weary of mobile applications, because when flywheels fail, they fail spectacularly. With grid applications, at least you can bury them or have heavy shielding.

Yeah I think you’re right on flywheel applications not being suitable for general grid use. I was thinking about pumped water too.
