The other trick is that the energy stored by a flywheel is related to its rotational speed, while the gyroscopic effect is related to its mass. So if you use a light flywheel, turning at high RPM, you will have a reasonable gyroscopic effect with lots of energy storage. At least that's the theory!:)
