    Graduate Can a Variable Inertia Flywheel Maintain Constant Speed?

    ...I don't know why I did not simply made this drawing immediately, but now it is here: http://cdn.imghack.se/images/fb100c74f331a9b088e45039b8b775df.jpg By moving that pink linear bearing (up and down) I would like to regulate flywheel inertia. Is it possible to calculate how much energy I...

    Graduate Can a Variable Inertia Flywheel Maintain Constant Speed?

    let me just comment: if I have X joules stored in flywheel with max radius, I need to spend all my energy of flywheel in order to move that mass to minimum radius!? My idea is to maintain constant speed when flywheel is receiving and sending energy by changing inertia (radius). ... if I...

    Graduate Can a Variable Inertia Flywheel Maintain Constant Speed?

    ...thanks for welcome and replay. To make things more clear, I've made a simplified sketch in paint, and I think that it will be a good idea to explain little bit more that concept in my head. That flywheel should have function of a battery. energy will be pumped into flywheel in cycles, but...

    Graduate Can a Variable Inertia Flywheel Maintain Constant Speed?

    Hello, My question is: how much energy is needed for changing inertia of flywheel? example: on rotary shaft we have linear actuator which is moving some object (mass). by that movement, radius of flywheel is changing. ...if there is energy input to flywheel, mass is moving away form...
