spiral torsion springs
(OP)
Anyone know of any suitable instrumentation or have any ideas on how to measure the amount of energy that can be stored on the attached spring?
The spring can be unsrewed and mounted on something if needs be.
Any equations to calculate the amount of energy that can be stored would also be helpful.
Thanks.

E - Energy (Joule)
K - Spring constant (N-m/radians)
Theta - Angle of deflection (Radians)
You can use the formula with other unit system as long as it is consistent.

Is there a formula for how many times it can be wound (number of revolutions) it can take?

You need to calculate the stresses in the spring and then use fatique analysis (S-N, Goodman, etc.) to calculate the life cycle. There is no one simple formula for this process.
Your first post asked about energy now are talking stresses and loads.
