      From: kenw@kmsi.net              There is one possible advantage to using high-strength flywheels vs       batteries: durability. Batteries have a limited number of charge/discharge       cycles, and replacing them on the moon would be expensive.       Magnetically-suspended flywheels wouldn't have much wear at all.              BTW, I'm missing a large percentage of the postings in this group. Are       others having that problem, or is it just my ISP?              /kenw              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
