Flywheels:

"It is deliberately obscure for the New York Times to describe flywheels 30 Nov'75 as 'storing inertial energy.'

"The wheels are inert only when motionless. Flywheels don't store energy; they articulate energy. They are energy-articulate.

"The flywheel--like the congruent unity of single, double, triple, quadruple, and eightfold bonded vectors and vertices of topology--are superficially very deceptive. The same size wheel whose rate of revolutions is so high as to seem motionless may be active energy of many magnitudes--sometimes so great that the flywheels explode."
