Hi Bob, It's really good to be reminded of your long-term enthusiasm for flywheels. Do you think this is what we should all be pushing for, or is there...
I've been enthusiastic about flywheels for a long time. With magnetic bearings, in an evacuated chamber, you are right, losses are negligible. Of course, there...
