Eye daydream you lose.

Try the car when the snow goes away, and you have a big dry surface to try it on. You will get another big surprise! Around 1973 a top NASCAR team tried this concept for their car at Daytona. Their reason was that at Daytona they ran full throttle all the way around the track, and the corners would pull the engine down in revs. Their theory was that the energy in a heavy flywheel would let the engine maintain RPM in the corners. They built a 250 pound (100+kg) flywheel and gave it a try. They were surprised to learn that the heavy flywheel was a big gyro and the car would not turn. When the car came to a corner, it wanted to go straight, through the wall.

Super. I tried this on a VW Beetle. I only added a little over four pounds at the rim of the flywheel, and not only did the engine rev up and down much differently, if you floored it, waited for it to rev up, and then dropped the clutch, it would really burn rubber. 💙 T.E.N. Edit: After reading a bunch of comments, a heavier flywheel means lower miles per gallon and less power available at the drive wheels, however, initial torque off the line and speed shifting are fun. 💙

If you've watched much of this channel, that is exactly the mode they operate within. It might bite them one day. Especially when you see they are so utterly surprised what the energy stored in a Very quickly spinning wheel can unleash, wheels were tires are centripetally growing and disintegrating 'explosively' (previously standing right in the plane of release). I sound like a broken record but they do take some stupid risks, at times. And the chain worries me FAR less than the flywheels they installed. You can get away with these lax concerns right up to the very moment you don't, on rare occasions.

Smoothest, engagement, ever. Congrats you made an engine that uses it's power to drive a flywheel instead of a car.

As you stop you add your forward momentum to a separate flywheel that spins while the car has stopped. When you want to move, engage the clutch to the flywheel first then to the engine to accelerate once the energy in the flywheel has been used.

I do the brake trick on my old tractor without diff lock. Works wonders but the diff is getting a lot of stress.

Applying some e-brake works great for this, since it will only apply brake to the driving wheels. (Unless you have fwd car with rwd e-brake or the other way around).

Flywheel diff lock: put heavy flywheels on each wheel to prevent wheelspin

@ronnie or use the rocking motion and let momentum move your vehicle if you're stuck.

Here in Norway there was a Rally Cross driver that used the heavy flywheel trick to make sure he was first out on the start line by revving up his 500+ HP Rally car and let it rip in second gear instead of first. He pretty much always was first in the start and in Rally Cross that means much higher chance of winning because the races is short.

Thanks for translating our Ruskie Brother. Empirical vs Theoretical. We need to do stuff and try things instead of trusting what advertisers say. That said, car makers really do their homework obv.

Nice! Always something crazy!

Usual lada diesel sound from a petrol. Great experiment guys. I done this on an old tractor, increases the torque a lot too.

This guy and his team are awesome people

Some power generator are started by a mass that is always kept in motion... This allows to minimise the amount of batteries needed for no-break power systems, since the engine is reaching it's ideal revs in less than 30 seconds.

Many spacecraft are equipped with a flywheel on each axis, to allow for orientation by spinning them up or down, rather than using thrusters. They call them reaction wheels.

One of the best channels on KZread. 👍

The best description for that is momentum. Something heavy maintains momentum longer than something light of the same profile.

I would like to see a lada engine. modified to run on kerosene, like a model airplane engine. Raise the compression and replace the spark plugs with glow plugs, then add a turbo

@Wells Benton exactly. No one gives a shit

In the old days of drag racing, when only manual transmissions were available, we'd look for the heaviest flywheel we could find for our small block Chevy's, to help with low end torque. The flywheels from the 348-409 Chevy's, (scalloped valve cover motors from mid-60's), were the best 11" flywheel: 50# (~22KG) After they became too hard to find, I ran a 12" Flywheel from a truck, with an 11" pressure plate, and 10.5" disk to make shifting easier. Worked well. Five flywheels = 50% of engine weight

Your results are exactly what i expected. I am a mechanical engineer with 30 years experience. This video interests me because i was considering a car clutch and flywheel in a four wheel drive truck

@@ArtisticSep Because the engine is trying to pump large amounts of air at the high rpm, but the throttle plate is closed and restricting air from coming in. Therefore, you get a vacuum between the engine and the throttle plate, and a much higher level of vacuum than normal because the engine is trying to pump much more air than it usually does.

So when the engine pumps the air out from between the throttle plate and the intake valves, that's called a vacuum, and the fewer molecules are in there, the "higher" the vacuum level.

The bunch of flywheels looked like a wheel, how about making 4 stacks and fitting them as wheels.

@@alessandrogallo7969 The engine has exactly the same torque as before. It's just that the flywheel has way more momentum, so the engine will be very hard to stall. The true thing here is that the clutch would indeed have to work harder, but thanks to the flywheels you wouldn't need high engine rpm to move a big trailer, so in the end it might actually put significantly less strain on the clutch than if you tried it on a stock car.

If you placed the pivot on the exact center of gravity it would technically work, though the forces would be immense. If you did it with the flywheel on the bottom it might work. You could also attach shit to the engine to "balance" it perfectly

For drag racing on cars with limits on the motor, the extra rotational energy from heavy flywheels helps launch the car. It also gives a little extra kick when shifting.

When they went to standard hardware bolts for the four flywheels, I was laughing and wondered what they would put in for protection of the flywheels flying off the engine. Instead, they use a hammer to tear out the existing floor so that there is even less protection. When racing, there was an incredible difference between the 20 lb., 15 lb., and 12 lb. flywheels as to stall off the line and the ability to rev quickly. To be putting on 60 lb. or more is insane, especially on a low horsepower four cylinder.

Make a set of 'TIRES' out of a stack of large truck/ heavy equipment flywheels put together!!!!!! :)
