Hello, I have been a qualified A Grade Automotive Engineer for over 40 years and have just joined this forum as it looks like others here know what they are on about. Not sure if I fit but time will tell. I need to build a motor for a special application and I have a question involving crankshaft vibration vs flywheel mass which my automotive resources are struggling with. As it involves physics perhaps someone here can help. As this is my introduction I will ask it later. Does it sound like I have landed in the right place?
Regards

Sounds like a good fit for the ME forum. We discuss a lot of automotive and aero issues in there.

Absolutely! Welcome to the PF. :smile:
