The energy in a flywheel is stored in the form of rotational kinetic energy.
Consider a flywheel, mounted such that its AXIS can be rotated anywhere on the XY plane (about the Z axis)
set spinning, initially oriented along the X-axis. Once spinning, the flywheel resists changes to it's axis of rotation, but if we apply enough force (red arrows), we can rotate the axis over to the Y direction and again for another 90°90°, to the -X direction.
After another 180°180°, the direction is reversed again back to where it started. We have expended energy reversing the vector component of the wheels angular momentum twice.
