  "term": "Electrogyro",
  "field": "Industrial and trades",
  "definition": "A mechanical energy storage device that uses a large, heavy flywheel to store rotational energy. An electric motor spins the flywheel up to a high speed, and this kinetic energy is then converted back into electricity by the same unit operating as a generator when power is needed. These were used to power vehicles like buses on short routes, with the flywheel being re-energized at charging stations located every few kilometers.",
