This flywheel discussion is interesting.
I am not an engineer but note it was mentioned that a proper
size flywheel can store the energy/power of a v8 engine.
What is the simple equation here for energy (horsepower) stored
in say a flywheel weighing 200 pounds, spinning at 1000 rpm?
My last physics course was in high school.
