I can't seem to find any used flywheels to fit my motor, but I can get a
brand new flywheel for £40. I'm not sure if it is worth it in order to
satisfy my scientific curiousity. If I get a different motor, I can get
a flywheel for next to nothing, but that will involve lots of effort,
bartering and deals in order to get a motor which isn't quite so cool.


I won't touch the theoretical discussions on this thread. However I
thought I might mention that if you wanted to experiment cheaply I'm
sure you can find a used cast iron pulley in large enough diameter to
serve as your flywheel. Preferably a multi-groove pulley.
