Viability of flywheels in vehicles is unknown too. Flywheel-based vehicles have existed for over a century, but they don't store enough energy to last more than a kilometer. Perhaps vacuum-sealed electrical type of flywheel could store more energy {{x|this page needs to clarify this more in previous paragraphs}}, but would the bumps of the road cause energy losses too quickly? This page needs more research.
