Re: Flywheels achieving linear motion

Ah, I've got an idea! You could just use the HotWheels priciple. Have a spinning flywheel with some sort of grippy surface on it, even knurled slightly. Then have it spin a bit below 2" above a slide table. Then just slide the bar into it! Along the table. However, unless you like blood, you will want some sort of very strong stop behind the bar to prevent it from going AWOL.
