1.  It's not perpetual motion

2.  A flywheel rotating parallel to the earth's rotation isn't going
to do hardly anything.  It would have to be perpendicular/skew to the
earth axis.

3.  It's a conservation of angular momentum issue, not the coriolis
effect.

4.  The coriolis effect is a pseudo accelleration, when the distance
of a mass relative to the axis of rotation changes.  A hurricane,
where a low pressure area increases the radius of the air on the
northern side from the earth's axis and decreases the radius from the
earths axis on the southern side, is an example of the corioli effect.

5.  With only one revolution/day the flywheel would need to be
hundreds of miles in diameter to produce much power.
