all auto's should have continual energy stored in a fly wheel, to make accelleration from a dead start less taxing on the engine. Gas or electric motors would both benefit, plus less pollution and longer battery life. The energy saved in stop and go traffic would be huge. So when does the average driver get this technology ? Plus gyroscopic stabilization for the vehicle, too Put a ring of magnets around the flywheel and recover current with a stationary coil wrapped around it's circumference.
