I have been thinking about size and weight of flywheels for our little engines. I don't have a large selection of material on hand and want to make the best use of what I have.
I understand the basic flywheel effect, but was wondering about the relationship between size, both dia and width, mass and material.
Is a 1/2" thick 3" flywheel, made from aluminum as effective as a 2" dia x 3/8" thick flywheel made from brass? Why or why not?
