Re: Flywheels achieving linear motion

you need to start working out the physics equations for this: Force, energy, power...

if you want to puncture 1/8" steel the rod only needs to move about 1/4", right? The idea you are grasping at is getting all the energy from the flywheel into the 1/4" movement of the punch

work out the physics: a 12" movement with one ton of force the whole distance takes 48 times the energy as a 1/4" movement with one ton of force.
