Mechanical energy storage systems take advantage of kinetic or gravitational forces to store inputted energy. While the physics of mechanical systems are often quite simple (e.g. spin a flywheel or lift weights up a hill), the technologies that enable the efficient and effective use of these forces are particularly advanced.

Is there a mechanical mechanism that stores energy by rotating force and releases energy by rotating force? It doesn''t have to be spring operated, but I think

Conventional energy storage and return (ESR) prostheses partially compensate by storing mechanical energy during midstance and returning this energy during the terminal stance phase of gait. These prostheses can provide approximately 30% of the push-off work performed by a healthy ankle-foot during walking.
