Consider the power consumption. The balls are pretty light, but trying to pull several up from the bottom of your hopper with enough speed to propel them 5+ feet in the air, all using the same mechanism is going to be challenging.
I might be wrong, but I still think you're misunderstanding the OP's intentions. I think the OP is asking about just using a large, wide flywheel capable of launching more than one ball at a time, not using the drum that contains the Fuel to also launch it.
