Flywheel Energy Storage
Even if a carbon fiber flywheel is only 50% efficient it has the ability to store and provide more energy than Tesla''s Li-ion battery with comparable mass. There would also be additional mass needed to house the flywheel and mechanisms, but these should be small compared to the maximum limit of energy storage.

Flywheel Energy Storage Explained
Share this post. Flywheel energy storage systems (FESS) are a great way to store and use energy. They work by spinning a wheel really fast to store energy, and then slowing it down to release that energy when needed. FESS are perfect for keeping the power grid steady, providing backup power and supporting renewable energy sources.
