Go to Post Engineering is all about trade offs. You can design yor system to do A, B or C easily. Combining A abd C or A and B or B and C requires some effort. Combining A, B and C should be near impossible. - Mike Betts [more]

Suggestions

Here are some suggestions on where to get some of your needed stuff:

Flywheel - McMaster Carr has tons of metal wheels of different weights and sizes. If you don't want one to big (6" dia. and under), it looks like you can find one for under $30. Either go to McMaster Carr on the internet of find one of their handy catologs.

Generator - I'm not an expert in this area, for sure... but I'll provide another suggestion: I'm not sure about this, but I think that an automotive-type alternator may work for your needs. A typical car's alternator is probably too big for your use, but I assume that it provides the right type of output for what you want to do. Someone with more experience with smaller alternators may need to jump in here.

Tachometer - McMaster Carr also has a these, in a variety of styles.

Sorry I can't help more.
