True, lightweight high-strength containment materials may make such a system practical, although they tend to be expensive. But there's no need to wait. Both mechanical flywheels and compressed-air energy storage share the same characteristics in this regard: stored energy scales directly

Los Alamos National Laboratory patented a lightweight containment system using Kevlar. While the Patent was in force, our firm had rights for use with our polymers. Now that their Patent has expired we still expect to use that lightweight system of containment for UMES electron flywheels.
