  • Try the car when the snow goes away, and you have a big dry surface to try it on. You will get another big surprise! Around 1973 a top NASCAR team tried this concept for their car at Daytona. Their reason was that at Daytona they ran full throttle all the way around the track, and the corners would pull the engine down in revs. Their theory was that the energy in a heavy flywheel would let the engine maintain RPM in the corners. They built a 250 pound (100+kg) flywheel and gave it a try. They were surprised to learn that the heavy flywheel was a big gyro and the car would not turn. When the car came to a corner, it wanted to go straight, through the wall.

    • @@paulbains9152 i read a wiki article about that bus, those are flywheel batteries. Unfortunally, they dont work with all vibration of a bus. Its great for stationary units and space. Its used for trolleys to give them boost after a station. Modern version of that flywheell battery is made of carbon fiber composite and its encapsulated in a vacuum or noble gas sealed cointaineer, for lower aero drag. They use magnetic bearings too. I was disapointed because i was hoping theycould use that technology for electric cars.

Start the car in first gear with no breaks, it's janky af but does work, when it starts... drive, when you need to change gear, lift slightly off the accelerator slip into neutral then align the revs with what they would be in second gear and slip it into second with as little force as possible, it just clunks in... ect. same kind of thing to change down gears too. I have done this many times as a kind of party trick. No-one believes it's possible until they see it.

    • If you've watched much of this channel, that is exactly the mode they operate within. It might bite them one day. Especially when you see they are so utterly surprised what the energy stored in a Very quickly spinning wheel can unleash, wheels were tires are centripetally growing and disintegrating 'explosively' (previously standing right in the plane of release). I sound like a broken record but they do take some stupid risks, at times. And the chain worries me FAR less than the flywheels they installed. You can get away with these lax concerns right up to the very moment you don't, on rare occasions.

  • Super. I tried this on a VW Beetle. I only added a little over four pounds at the rim of the flywheel, and not only did the engine rev up and down much differently, if you floored it, waited for it to rev up, and then dropped the clutch, it would really burn rubber. 💙 T.E.N. Edit: After reading a bunch of comments, a heavier flywheel means lower miles per gallon and less power available at the drive wheels, however, initial torque off the line and speed shifting are fun. 💙

The flywheels from the 348-409 Chevy's, (scalloped valve cover motors from mid-60's), were the best 11" flywheel: 50# (~22KG) After they became too hard to find, I ran a 12" Flywheel from a truck, with an 11" pressure plate, and 10.5" disk to make shifting easier. Worked well. Five flywheels = 50% of engine weight

Instead, they use a hammer to tear out the existing floor so that there is even less protection. When racing, there was an incredible difference between the 20 lb., 15 lb., and 12 lb. flywheels as to stall off the line and the ability to rev quickly. To be putting on 60 lb. or more is insane, especially on a low horsepower four cylinder.

  • How about putting a fly wheel under the car and make it almost as wide as the car. The fly wheel would consist of weights attached to springs. The faster the fly wheel spins the farther the weights extend. It would be a similar effect as an ice skater bringing in their arms when spinning and then spinning really fast. The ice skater would represent the wheels of the car. When the car is cruising at highway speeds the weights will be fully extended however when slowing down, the weights would begin to move back in toward the center of the fly wheel causing the car to want speed up when you're trying to slow down. Or when going up a hill take your foot off the gas and feel the car accelerate or maintain speed. You're going to make a great discovery accidentally. Keep up the good work.
