Flywheel Foolishness

[reggie_obe]

Look up toroidal fans.

Or air compressor flywheel.

No, not to buy for $755, as one of many examples.
Functional and not whimsical looking.

Reggie--I seen your post, and that design would be really nice at about 8" diameter. I thought of that earlier, but decided it would be too difficult to fabricate. Thanks for your suggestion.---Brian

It's a brand new day, and just like Steve Earl, I've come back with brand new plan. The flywheel is going to be 8" o.d. with a 1/4" web and a 1 3/4" dia. hub. No bolting. The "blades" are going to be 1 1/4" x 1/8" x 1 1/2". All is steel and all is welded. All mig welded. This size will cool the engine I am designing without any trouble.

Beginning to get very, very weird, and yet it all fits and the crankshaft revolves without getting hung up. That base is made from a single piece of 4" square aluminum. It is tall like that to get clearance under the flywheel.
