Conclusion
Due to the problems which were mentioned before we obtain the following result
The general target was to build a mechanical energy storage system.The challenge was to build the prototype based on the another group's design. The design could be improved, if it would follow certain criterions:
The prototype is only a proof of concept. The efficiency is poor due to big losses in the transmission, and due to the multiple transitions of energy. Also, system's output is not regulated in a proper way to get a good level of efficiency.

The original idea
Our design
The original design was based on a flywheel rotation and a linear spring compression. To compress spring the worm gear would be used.
Figure 4. The efficiency graph
For our design we used a clock spring that was directly connected to a motor. This improvement decreased energy loss in the system. The flywheel was changed on a rubber band, which gave us some advantages as well as disadvantages. We also came up with the efficient blocking system which was able to save collected energy .
Сontrolling process
During our project we faced the problem that we cannot control the speed of the energy release. This issue should be take into account.
