Better Energy Storage

It's no shocker that technology is now surpassing the smes. An idea I had for an extention to the smes is to give all maps a FLY WHEEL.

The fly wheel is a 3x3 machine which is assembled as a 1x3 machine which rotates a massive heavy and dangerous 1x2 slab of plasteel. The idea here is that the flywheel CAN hold more energy than the smes, but if emagged, can be overcharged into an immovable rod like state where it will launch itself in a random direction and damage whatever is in its way until it reaches the edge of the z level. Smes will still be located in solars and the gravity generator.

Flywheels! Leave your SMES behind!
Grab one! Emag it, rip it!
Up to 200 scale MW per hour!

See? This is what I would like to see become a reality.

We need energy generation to not be a free money printer before we can do any sort of advancement with energy storage structures.
