    Flywheel structural questions

    Help please... I am designing a flywheel energy storage system, and need to know... how to calculate the tension in a solid ring when it is spinning. Think of it as a segmented flywheel...what tension would a band round the outside have to deal with ? assume 1 tonne, with effective diameter of...

    Motorcycle steering

    I'm sure this has been discussed before It is all down to the effective combined forces of gravity, and centrifugal force caused by turning, and it's position relative to the tyre contact points. Try 2 experiments....on a straight, empty road. Try to steer by weight shift only..it doesn't...

    Car alternator enhancement

    Can anyone advise: What is the relationship between rotor "turns", current, and output current ?. I know that inductance is proportional to turns squared, but what about mag' field strength. Is there any way to "push" the field outwards towrds the stator, rather than a...
