thanks for your comment...we want to gain more performance from the flywheel and want to reduce the weight of the flywheel. we were thinking of reducing the weight by making a rimmed flywheel, with a thicker outer radius. this alone could reduce the weight of flywheel by a half, while maintaining the same inertia value. the next idea is too increase the gear ratio further. by doubling the gear ratio we could reduce the weight by up to 4 times,
to further increase performance a second clutch with a one to one ratio to sent power back from the flywheel to wheel is also a future opportunity . what u think.
