A 1,000kg, 5m, 200RPM flywheel would store 685,567J of energy if it was shaped like a disc. That''s 0.19kWh of energy — enough to boil the water for about seven (7) cups of tea or run a typical airconditioner for about 10 minutes. I think you might be over-estimating how much energy these things can store. – Tim.
Low-speed flywheels, with typical operating speeds up to 6000 rev/min, are constructed with steel rotors and conventional bearings. For example, a typical flywheel system with steel rotor developed in the 1980s for wind–diesel applications had energy storage capacity around 2 kW h @ 5000 rev/min, and rated power 45 kW.
A flywheel is supported by a rolling-element bearing and is coupled to a motor-generator in a typical arrangement. To reduce friction and energy waste, the flywheel and sometimes the motor–generator are encased in a vacuum chamber.
