I also feel that all of the methods you mentioned would work. I just feel that by the time you add enough fail safe's to the flywheel, it would either be way to heavy to be practicle, or would be made of so many exotic materials that it would cost more than most cars do today. -- Mob rule doesn't become any prettier, just because the mob start to call itself a government.
