Re: Proposed lunar energy storage system



There is one possible advantage to using high-strength flywheels vs
batteries: durability. Batteries have a limited number of charge/discharge
cycles, and replacing them on the moon would be expensive.
Magnetically-suspended flywheels wouldn't have much wear at all.

BTW, I'm missing a large percentage of the postings in this group. Are
others having that problem, or is it just my ISP?
