Not related but the first thing I thought of was flywheel regenerative braking in cars, except that is storage in kinetic energy not potential energy

- romdev 8y agoAlso (mostly) unrelated to the story, but the first thing I thought of when hearing about kinetic energy storage was a story I heard several years ago about a data center that protected itself from catastrophic power surges by using a massive spinning flywheel to store energy from the grid and harvest its rotation to run a generator that powered the servers.
