Thank you! This sounds like a very reasonable explanation. I will look into this.
I'm kind of digressing from my original subject of interest, but...I thought the same thing, and the truth is that the power difference is so small you don't really FEEL a difference. But the difference is...
Thanks for the assistance in putting my words into math, and this makes perfect sense to me; you have the torque T, applied over a very short time, heavy flywheel doesn't change speed very much but stores the energy as rotational momentum.
Basically what you have said is that with an...
there are some cool videos online to give you an idea of what you can do.
I think you should make a machine like in family guy that "makes breakfast":biggrin:
Here are a few links to videos(video links contain no foul language or innapropriate images)...
This may be a question better suited for the mech/aero engineering section, but I figure I'll start here.
MY question relates to a phenomenon that I just can't seem to figure out.
It has to do with a flywheel in a car.
With a lighter flywheel i would expect to see more horsepower...
