I believe Verizon has a datacenter that has a number of 15 ft concrete flywheels that provides emergency power.

- toast0 8y agoThis is a pretty common way to bridge the gap between when utility power drops and when emergency generators are started and ready to handle the load. I believe flywheel systems can be more compact and don't have the same maintenance demands, but may be more limited as to energy capacity and duration of service.
