Try the car when the snow goes away, and you have a big dry surface to try it on. You will get another big surprise! Around 1973 a top NASCAR team tried this concept for their car at Daytona. Their reason was that at Daytona they ran full throttle all the way around the track, and the corners would pull the engine down in revs. Their theory was that the energy in a heavy flywheel would let the engine maintain RPM in the corners. They built a 250 pound (100+kg) flywheel and gave it a try. They were surprised to learn that the heavy flywheel was a big gyro and the car would not turn. When the car came to a corner, it wanted to go straight, through the wall.

If you've watched much of this channel, that is exactly the mode they operate within. It might bite them one day. Especially when you see they are so utterly surprised what the energy stored in a Very quickly spinning wheel can unleash, wheels were tires are centripetally growing and disintegrating 'explosively' (previously standing right in the plane of release). I sound like a broken record but they do take some stupid risks, at times. And the chain worries me FAR less than the flywheels they installed. You can get away with these lax concerns right up to the very moment you don't, on rare occasions.

To anyone who really thinks that this could work, I want you to understand the function of the flywheel first. This will tell you why this setup would be a terrible idea for everyday driving, but a good learning experience anyway. The flywheel has teeth along the outside to allow the starter motor to spin the engine. No problems so far... The flywheel mates with the clutch to spin the wheels. Since the clutch mounts the the outside face of the flywheel, we still don't have any problems... The flywheel is rather large and heavy. This is to keep the engine running so that the rotating mass aids the engine between power strokes. A lightweight flywheel is better for performance applications like racing, but impractical for daily driving as it would cause the engine to struggle when taking off from a stop. If a flywheel is too heavy, the engine will struggle in a similar fashion. The engine will have to work a lot harder to spin all this extra weight and will also cause rev hang when shifting into the next gear or a higher gear. Thus making increasing rpm and decreasing rpm a much longer and harder task. Here is the problem. There is too much weight that the engine has to deal with, causing it to struggle. You can move the transmission back on a RWD vehicle like this as far as you want as long as it's mounted securely, but if the flywheel is too heavy, there will be lots of issues with the operation of the vehicle.

In the old days of drag racing, when only manual transmissions were available, we'd look for the heaviest flywheel we could find for our small block Chevy's, to help with low end torque. The flywheels from the 348-409 Chevy's, (scalloped valve cover motors from mid-60's), were the best 11" flywheel: 50# (~22KG) After they became too hard to find, I ran a 12" Flywheel from a truck, with an 11" pressure plate, and 10.5" disk to make shifting easier. Worked well. Five flywheels = 50% of engine weight
@DavidAragon133 жыл бұрын
I think the added mass would make an awesome interstate cruiser and also could be used as a mechanical regenerative braking. As you stop you add your forward momentum to a separate flywheel that spins while the car has stopped. When you want to move, engage the clutch to the flywheel first then to the engine to accelerate once the energy in the flywheel has been used.

Instead, they use a hammer to tear out the existing floor so that there is even less protection.

To be putting on 60 lb. or more is insane, especially on a low horsepower four cylinder.

And that's why you want your rims to be as light as possible too. They add rotational inertia to the car, similar to its body weight. When the clutch is engaged, that's exactly the effect you get. You could test engine sound this way because engines generally sound better when they accelerate under load. For the weird noises you heard, they should occur during normal driving too, because as long as there's inertial mass connected to the engine, it will run smoother than without. The springs in the clutch might allow some uneven rotation, but that's about it.

For that to work, the engine block has to have some inertia too, otherwise the flywheel may spin smoothly, but the block will vibrate. Normally the block does have way larger inertia, but here I won't be that sure anymore... :-) But still I think it should allow way lower idle than the standard design, indeed...

Many spacecraft are equipped with a flywheel on each axis, to allow for orientation by spinning them up or down, rather than using thrusters. They call them reaction wheels.
That flywheel is now a battery. Stores energy. Back in the early days there was a bus that had a “battery” that used that principle. Spun the flywheel to really really high speed and the momentum was used to power the bus.

A flywheel is, in effect, a "mechanical battery". The increase in time it takes to build revs, is synonymous with "charging" it... while the slow decrease in revs, is the "discharging".

He pretty much always was first in the start and in Rally Cross that means much higher chance of winning because the races is short.

How about putting a fly wheel under the car and make it almost as wide as the car. The fly wheel would consist of weights attached to springs. The faster the fly wheel spins the farther the weights extend. It would be a similar effect as an ice skater bringing in their arms when spinning and then spinning really fast. The ice skater would represent the wheels of the car. When the car is cruising at highway speeds the weights will be fully extended however when slowing down, the weights would begin to move back in toward the center of the fly wheel causing the car to want speed up when you're trying to slow down. Or when going up a hill take your foot off the gas and feel the car accelerate or maintain speed. You're going to make a great discovery accidentally. Keep up the good work.
