Slip Gear

Just an idea, but with the varying power of flywheels based on battery voltage, has anyone thought about the slip gear?

Neat design, can you explain how this would work with a flywheel?

I’ve built similar gears for catapults before, where I want to let go of a bunch of tension, but that’s it.

I think he means use slip gears on catapults instead of flywheels

Catapults or “spring” launchers. (“springs” are elastics)
