Domestic flywheel energy storage: how close are we?
2. A 1,000kg, 5m, 200RPM flywheel would store 685,567J of energy if it was shaped like a disc. That''s 0.19kWh of energy — enough to boil the water for about seven (7) cups of tea or run a typical airconditioner for about 10 minutes. I think you might be over-estimating how much energy these things can store.

DIY Flywheel Energy Storage on a small scale? : r/AskEngineers
Generator flywheel and diesel were on one axis with a coupling towards the diesel. The flywheel was constructed as an engine around that axis, so the stator is the axis at 1500 rpm and the flywheel turns around at max. 4400 rpm. If energy needs to be provided, the outer rotor is slowed down by a brake in that axis, so the energy is transferred.
