	There is a lot of speculation on this subject and not much
	aggreement.

	I have read (in Scientific American many years ago and in
	more recent Popular Science I think) that there is not 
	the same danger level from modern flywheel designs as would
	be the case from a steel plate for example.

	My thought is - haven't any of the tests been run to the 
	failure point?  Have any actual working prototypes been 
	built?  It would seem not.  This was easy to understand 
	15 or more years ago when I read the first article, but
	now it really seems ludicrous.

	So Is the real reason for not storing energy in a flywheel
	the danger?  If so why the comments that the things simply
	fail in a cotton candy like fluff?
