Okay so here is a little bit more information about the design. We sort of have a floating flywheel with magnetic bearings. That is the reason why we can not just use an axle connected to a motor. The motor itself would when needed be pressed against the flywheel to make it rotate. The contact...

For a model, I am making I need to know the friction between a motor and a flywheel. The electric motor is on the side of the flywheel and the idea is when this motor turns the flywheel will start to rotate due to the friction between them. I however can not find a good way to calculate this...
