Andy,

just to add to your points, somewhere I read about a company (I think it's in
the Pacific Northwest) that has perfected a contra-rotating, magnetic-bearing
flywheel system which effectively eliminates the gyro-effects and has a very
high energy density too.  Sorry, but I can't remember where I saw the article
so treat my info with a "grain of salt" until you or others can verify it.

Cheers,
