What is the current state of the art in flywheels and how much more work
is needed for home installation? One could speculate about possible
future flywheels utilizing carbon nanotubes and such. And as long as one
is speculating about possible future developments, who about using
superconductors? Operating temperatures and energy density would need to
be taken into account but that'll be part of the speculation.
