- FLYWHEELS have been used for ages on British double decker bus, I
- believe, and they have the added advantag of providing stability on
- corners. GYRO/GENERATOR/FLYWHEEL ... but for cars it would take up a lot
- of space and not be too practical, as well as causing rotational problems
- when changing speeds due to the short wheelbase.
