How do flywheels store energy?
Just as a flywheel needs lots of force to start it off, so it needs a lot of force to make it stop. As a result, when it''s spinning at high speed, it tends to want to keep on spinning (we say it has

When energy is extracted from the system, the flywheel''s rotational speed is reduced as a consequence of the principle of conservation of energy; adding energy to the system correspondingly results in an
