Thank you for your response!
That is quite a lot to think about, what is the difference between using a half turn or a quarter turn?
The amount of contact time will affect the amount of momentum being transferred from the flywheel to the disc, i.e. the longer the contact time, the higher the momentum will the disc is ejected out.
but of course that also means the flywheel will slow down more as well.
So everything is a trade-off. And that’s where finetuning comes into the picture - you just got to find the best balance for your purpose.
And to add a bit more clarity to your earlier question…
Vertical (or we normally called it single) flywheel:
Double (which is also a kind of horizontal) flywheel:
The current season horizontal flywheel (with only wheel):
