Re: Flywheels and Shooter Wheels
We have a flywheel that is currently geared 2:1 off of a CIM motor. The flywheel is about 5 lbs I believe or very close to that. We only run it at 80% capacity though because it gets pretty scary when it gets up to full speed, sounds like a jet turbine spooling up, it has a very distinctive whine to it. It shoots the balls pretty decently.
