I've wondered about this in other contexts, but I think it applies
to the flywheel discussion quite well...

Since Halon works by interferring with the burning process, what
would happen if a mass of gassified flywheel housing breached a Halon
tank, thus releasing Halon, on the way to mixing with the air?

At least some energy would be absorbed heating up the Halon as it
expands from the tank, and then the mixture would hit air.
What would this look like?  I know the heat has to go somewhere,
but since the Halon interferes with combustion would it mitigate
the damage?
