Not my decision, but at the moment, with the current state of technology, they do fade.

As you say, you would need a lot of batteries. Flywheels brought from Earth would by a similar mass, but they would last far longer. And...

True. My main argument is that batteries fade over time, but a flywheel won't.

Indeed. Perhaps I shouldn't have added that to the proposal, it just complicates things. I do think it is possible that basalt fiber...

Yes, and while real examples of both vary, a flywheel without the mass of a vacuum container is broadly similar to battery. But with the...

For controlling robots on the Moon, for mining or construction. We have robots that can copy human movements from camera vision...

If making basalt fiber on the moon presents problems, then I propose making the flywheel on Earth. For a energy storage solution, I am...
