Making Better Fly wheels
Doug:
Hello fellow Listers!
I had a thought, I used to service cranes over at the Dana brake parts plant here and town and always noticed there was usualy some Iron left after a run. Has anyone ever investigated the possibility to have "Better" fly wheels cast?
Now I don't own a sationary yet but I this might solve a lot of peoples trouble. Also, having looked down on the process from time to time from up above I think a fly wheel might be the easiest part to have cast.

Doug,
It's not talking to yourself unless you use different voices. Had a boss that did that a long time ago. Weirded everyone out so much when she started that, they'd get up and quietly close their office doors.
Re: casting flywheels, that's a REAL project. Too bad you can't just make one out of fiberglass and carbon fiber filled with lead shot or depleted uranium. That's more my speed.

Doug...Kirit Patel must be related to Atul Patel.....they are the Anand Enterprises people who produce the Powerline machines with all the upgrades for the N. American market. Ive asked them so many questions they sent me a Christmas card ;D I believe I've read somewhere they supply george and the people at listeroid but I could be mistaken.

SHIPCHIEF:
I'm just curious here;
We have air pack bottles at work that are Kevlar wrapped for light weight strength.
I was wondering if the set of flywheels (that we are talking about but will not name) were tightly wrapped in Kevlar (or carbon fiber etc) with the apprpriate epoxy matrix, would it be rendered safe?
How would one calculate? How much does cast iron expand before 'She's a-gona blow Cap'n!!'
???
