anyone?

hi it is extremely common to lighten existing flywheels and this is what i am looking at doing.i will not be removing an unsafe amount of material

hello again everyone totally forgot about this as was busy with uni work anyway i have decided to lighten my existing iron flywheel now. so i know the moment of inertia of the standard flywheel to be 0.1483 kgm^2 (does this sound right?) so if i calculated the kinetic energy as K.E=1/2 I...

thank you mate ill have to get a copy. and there was me thinking that my question was so easy id be laughed at ha ha

anyone?

well the standard flywheel that I am using is very heavy.i have had in the past material removed from these steel flywheels and of course had them balanced but i have never understood the whole theory behind it.so now i would like to design my own using a lighter material which will hopefully...

so today i have been trying to understand moment of inertia. now i basically understand that for my flywheel i need to reduce the MOI.but i would like to make it out af a different material and need to know how to calculate the existing steel flywheels MOI and what my new one will need to be

thanks for your reply mate. i have only started to have a look into moments of inertia. the standard flywheel is steel and i want to make one out of alloy so it is lighter but i should have more metal to play with to retain the strength.

right basically i have decided to design a flywheel for my car engine and i would like to know what factors will determine the shape and weight of it?is there a way of working out what is the minimum weight that it could be

newbie needs muchos help!(thanks) right so i am new to the forums and am really glad i found them.any way just doing some revision and have come across this and i am stumped. Q:In a particular type of hardness test a steel hammer is allowed to fall on a material being tested.If the hammer...
