I can just see myself in the next energy crunch, skulking along at night with my portable flywheel/generator/motor and magnetic contacts (called leeches in the future vernacular), looking for some unprotected flywheel to bleed down. or How about some kind of emergency windup on the flywheel, a gear and ratchet rope/pulley similar to lawn mowers. A folding arm to throw the rope over, and a loop in the end for one's foot. Let's see, step-lift 200lbs, 2ft high, how many times to get the car to a spinup station? Yo! Mama! Forget that diet! This is one time pounds are positive!
