  Apr 4 2011: Only 3 days left till the end of this conversation, so i am just lifting it up a little bit, to get some attention, before it expires.
  
  What do you think about this idea.
  Is it worth further development and research?
  
  Thank you and best regards

  Mar 9 2011: Yes, that is the key point of this idea.
  
  Now, from a technological view, there are some details remaining, but i have almost all of them figured out.
  
  The question is, if we put together a 120V electrical system, how much weight that would be in the flywheel and how much kinetic energy can we store with that.
  Also another problem might occur in the batteries. What would be the long-term effect on the gel batteries, when they are being turned around?

  I think, that this concept has a potential, to dramatically DECREASE the “in city” travel energy consumption.
