The same problems exists, but really for me it has incredible possibility for energy storage for a small town, village or community. The problem is friction. Magnetically levitating the massive flywheel weight seemed to be a way. The question always is, if you put energy in to it. How much energy is lost every week if you don't use it? Is it 1% a week? Is it 2#? How much energy can be held, how much is lost (% per week) and how much does it cost? These are the questions. We need examples and ranges. How does it compare to batteries, compressed air, heat storage and the other competing forms? I remember hearing about this a long time ago
