Hi Italian dude working on rotovertor
Ok spinning a big two meterr flywheel with a rotovertor AC motor is going to be project!
A 5hp size 3ph motor is only going to be like a 1bp motor in shaft power, when you do the rotovertor conversion.
Getting that flywheel spinning from stop will be near impossible, you will need some other motor working as a starter motor for a few.minutes, then bring in the rotovertor motor once flywheel going speed you want.
Rotovertor since latched to sinewave, has only a 7% allowance in rpm drop under load and it will drop out of latch with sinewave, and stall. So you going to need very specific ratios of belts and pulleys to make it so it keeps that flywheel spinning especially when your generator is loaded..
Are you getting that heat in rotor when you do spin the flywhelel?? Are you that far yet?  If so, then the heat is probably the battle of rotor slipping out of sinewave. But the flywheel makes it revolve when it doesn't want to.....during this time the motor is alternator, maybe you can tap out power during this time.
I will think your project is going to need many run cap sizes,, a variable frequency drive so you are not limited to the sinewave frequency in what speed motor goes, and also that variac, and eventually a bigger motor and one of permanent magnet rotor type too so it is synchronous type motor not non synchronous so will have more power, wiil not slip so easily out of such and not always be stalling and requiring a restart...
