Pinto 1.6l Flywheel ?

[Guest Simon cooper]

Without boring the death out of all of you with the maths involved in centrifugal force and inertia, not to mention the friction at the pivot point on the dynamic balancing thingy, I think your mad doing it yourself.

An analagy: Tie a piece of lead fishing shot to a piece of string and swing it round your head at 6500rpm on 12 inches of string. You would need a piece of rope to hold it.

Like Longboarder, I have said my bit.

the whole point is,

that the piece of 'lead' you refer to in your analogy, now weighs less.

 

Out of interest:

The flywheel on the GM/Vaux V6 engine weighs almost 30Kg, and the engine quite happily revs to over 6500rpms..

 

now calculate the average centrifugal force on that..!

Hmmm - 5 days and no comments. What was the final decision then?

Just got P155d off with people with lots of theoretical knowledge and no practical experience.

So 20 years of building and tuning engines from .75cc to Formula 3000 counts for *bleep*.

I am time served thank you.
