Wow, excellent, Jim! A stunning likeness. The capstones just at the top gives it a very authentic look. And the ruins at the bottom give it increased presence.

(...) Angular momentum plays a big role in flywheel design as well. So you can bring velocity into it. You can add a small, light, fast flywheel, and a large, heavy, slow flywheel to your options. Also flywheels don't have to be circular and they (...) (20 years ago, 24-Oct-06, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
