Hmm, this doesn't seem like it would store energy for long though right? Once the energy starts flowing in, the wheel magnifies that force I assume, but needs almost constant input right? It's just meant to deal w hiccups in power outages?
store, not magnify.. although it can deal with 'ripples' and 'hiccups' in power delivery..
its capacity isn't that big, the title said so "32 kWh". for average house, it might only last for 6-ish hours of sustained use. that should be sufficient
with the exception of natural disaster, your power company should have less than 6 hours of power outage per year.
