If they are cheap and efficient there should be disadvantages why they are not able replace fossil fuel and make dependence on solar panel?
Sorry, but that makes no sense.
Could you rewrite it?
why we can't depend on solar panels in power stations using those flywheels?
At the moment it is cheaper to use fossil fuel.
Flywheels are simple, but, to be any use, they need to be big and heavy.
Also, as they store and release energy the rotational speed changes.
That makes it a bit more complicated to connect power from them to the grid.

Then we can't depend on solar panels by using them.However I claim we could depend on solar panels by using my clockwork In my other thread I mentioned using water depth in oceans instead of digging deep wells making it very cheap.

And we can't depend on solar panels using your springs + cogs idea for the same reason.
So, why not stop wasting time on it?

Your claim isn't true.

My clockwork doesn't have all these flaws.

If these springs are the future then there is not other way to store energy in these springs but my clockwork .

It has flaws that are listed elsewhere in the thread.

Nonsense.
The article says they plan to use the springs to store energy. But they can't  be planning to use your clockwrk- or they would have mentioned it.

In fact, any use of any spring is- in some way- to store  energy.
So, any way in which a spring is used is an "other way to store energy in these springs but my clockwork ".
The springs in the chair I am sitting on store energy- but they are not using your energy  wasting system.

really? show me how to store energy in a spring to be released in longer periods without using a clockwork?
you just claim knowledge in engineering but you don't have a tiny piece:

OK, the springs which form the suspension of a car or lorry do exactly that, they take the sudden impact from bumps in the road and release it more slowly giving a smoother ride.

Did you think it was going to be hard to find an example?

If you knew anything about springs, physics or engineering you would have realised that springs are used to do just what you said.
