Flywheel Energy Storage System (FESS)

Some of the key advantages of flywheel energy storage are low maintenance, long life (some flywheels are capable of well over 100,000 full depth of discharge cycles and the newest configurations are capable of even more than that, greater than 175,000 full depth of discharge cycles), and negligible environmental impact.

Domestic flywheel energy storage: how close are we?

(flywheel kinetic energy) = (K) × (RPM)² × (mass) × (radius)². Thus to maximize the energy storage of a flywheel we would focus on making it larger (increasing the radius) and faster, as the total energy will increase proportionally to the square of these factors. Note from @Ghanima''s answer we know that efficiencies are already greater ...
