Build a large and heavy flywheel, and keep it spinning with two or more
motors, one per circuit; use the flywheel to drive an alternator...
Flywheel UPS's exist. See

But they need horses not hampsters :)
Wow, a mere 150 seconds to recharge and 20 year lifespan. With a few
good solar panels and wind generators, who would need the utility companies?
It would be nice if they could effectively replace the batteries in
electic cars. Unfortunately, the additional weight may short-circuit
any gain.
