It is quite interesting that, if there is a clutch between the flywheel and motor, the flywheel can actually act like a capacitor in an electrical circuit. Am i right?

Actually a clutch would act as a dampening device by converting mechanical energy into heat. This means that the clutch would act like a resistor. The flywheel would act like an inductor. A «mechanical» capacitor would be a spring.
