 To go a step further, to be "steam punk", electrics would need to be powered from a steam turbine operated dynamo but electric wiring would still be required to follow all rules as they would apply. - Al Skierkiewicz [more] |

Re: How do I pick a fly wheel?
We had a saying, "Wood is Good". Mostly because we had no budget our first year and no machining facilities. I still have the promotional sign. It was painted on a scrap of Cedar wood siding: "Team 975 - Featuring W-Fiber."
It's available, "green" and is a remarkable material. Earlier this year, I went to see a local flying circus. They are still flying airplanes with wooden frames dating from the late 1920's and early 30's. Not just flying, but doing loops and stalls.  |
