I have a single Flywheel with 2, 5 inch wheels and the intake mounted at a 45 degree angle using the 45 degree gussets. My hood of the flywheel is mounted on the intake too. I have hardly any compression, but it takes a long time for the wheel to recover. What can i do to achieve a faster recovery t…

How many motors and what’s your gear ratio?

One way to decrease recovery time would be to increase the mass of the flywheel by adding another wheel so that the velocity of the flywheel would not decrease as much after each launch. However, doing so would mean sacrificing the spin-up time of the flywheel.

I am using 4 torque motors with a 1:35 speed ratio

Reducing the gear ratio will help. 35:1 is higher than you need, so by reducing the gear ratio, the motors put more torque into the flywheel. You will require a higher motor power, however. Also, see the last post in this thread . There is a graph of the formula for recovery time in it, which is exp…

I am pretty sure ,correct me if I am wrong, that the torque motors have a slower acceleration time because their max turn speed is slower. If you want to use toque motors with better acceleration time you would had more mass to create more inertia on the wheel.

[image] lpieroni: The opposite is actually true. The more torque a system has, the faster it will accelerate. This is why cars have transmissions. When the car is accelerating from a stop, it needs a lot of torque, but it doesn’t need a really high top speed yet. Therefore, it has a low gear rat…

PuppetMaster_Boopington: Interesting, I know that if you use flywheel control such as bang bang you can achieve faster acceleration to the desired rpm with faster motors. Which is another way to make your recover time much fast is to use fly wheel control and one of the best ways as well. Ye…

if i were to lower the gear ratio what would i lower it too?
