I want to build a flywheel energy storage system what is the maximum RPM you could spin a steel or aluminum flywheel?

I'll let you know when I finish the steel flywheel I am making and test it out. If possible, i am going to run up the flywheel until it explodes, so I know a relatively safe speed to be running flywheels at in the future.

What is an energy storage device?
The most familiar energy storage device is a battery used for electrical power supply. Energy can also be stored in a flywheel, in a spring (wristwatches, in earlier decades, used to be powered by a mainspring that you had to wind up by hand, rather than by batteries) and various other things.
What does the flywheel do?
A flywheel is a mechanical device with significant moment of inertia used as a storage device for rotational energy. Flywheels resist changes in their rotational speed, which helps steady the rotation of the shaft when a fluctuating torque is exerted on it by its power source such as a piston-based (reciprocating) engine, or when the load placed on it is intermittent (such as a piston pump). Flywheels can be used to produce very high power pulses as needed for some experiments, where drawing the power from the public network would produce unacceptable spikes. A small motor can accelerate the flywheel between the pulses. Recently, flywheels have become the subject of extensive research as power storage devices for uses in vehicles; see flywheel energy storage.
