SUMMARY
This discussion centers on the conversion of hydraulic pressure into kinetic energy, specifically through a conceptual design involving a 100 kg flywheel and hydraulic pistons. The proposed mechanism utilizes high-pressure, low-volume force to generate energy, with a focus on minimizing friction and maximizing efficiency. Key calculations include energy equations based on pressure and volume displacement, as well as considerations for the efficiency of combustion in the piston chamber. The design aims to create a low-maintenance generator with minimal wear on components.
