Wow, that's impressive. Not that the flies down where I live need wheels.

Very talented John.
Keep the projects coming, they are interesting.

Re: A project for a little flywheel..
I have a question. Is this for a miniature combustion engine? If so would the fact that the two parts are glued together not pause a risk of delamination due to heat?
Because they stand on the wall and say "nothing's gonna hurt you tonight, not on my watch".

I have repàired and modified our hand-made (huh) craftsman-built (double huh) Italian (see !) cooker using high temperature epoxy and nothing has fallen off. This includes epoxying a rubber door seal to the stainless steel surround.

Re: A project for a little flywheel..
From the other thread I see that the flywheel is external to the engine, and the engine is actually working on compressed air. So no danger from heat.
OFSO, I saw a great saying today, which may apply to your Italian cooker. "Hardware will eventually fail, and software will eventually work".

multi-billion $ fiascos (too numerous to mention, but "Health IT fiasco" gets 4.5m hits on goggle) across the globe say otherwise.....

Nasty people. Software here is working just fine thank you. So is the hardware. Now I've said that it will cease to do so, as that is the nature of things.
Re: A project for a little flywheel..
Quite so. I remember in the early 70s being put on a Committee to come up with a new Dealer Order Processing system. Progress was measured in "lines of code written"; there was no cutoff for "requirements", nor would the "users" (not the dealers!) accept one. I was the new boy, nobody listened to me. After 18 months and no visible results, the boss (wisely, in my view) canned the whole thing.
20 years later I used that lesson when we put in a very large new system. It worked!

Re: A project for a little flywheel..
Wow! Impressive! You must be a busy and skilled man, John .
Re: A project for a little flywheel..
Thanks Probes but this sort of thing is really just 'messing around in the shed' whereas the achievements of which I am most proud were in the field of innovative software design most of which is used in the aviation industry.

Re: A project for a little flywheel..
OK - still impressive
Re: A project for a little flywheel..
Probes, this is the stuff we are allowed to see. The stuff in the "secret room", not so much.
