Default Front Electric Sustainer

So how does rubber (or modern synthetic varieties thereof) compare on
an energy storage per mass basis with lithium/ion batteries? We use
them for bungee launches - how about powering a sustainer?

I have this vision of a large coil of rubber between my legs powering
a slow-turning single-bladed prop!
