Hmm… this might be easier to do with an electric car. Put it on an inclined track, and then drive uphill to store energy, and go downhill to release the energy.
You would just use the car wheels itself if you're doing all that - how do you think it would store energy driving uphill?
Well you want some weight which is why I’m suggesting the whole car but sure if you want some custom solution you can build something better.
