Brass Spoked Flywheel 3”-3.6”
« on: January 17, 2022, 09:32:20 am »
Hi,

I am looking for a Brass flywheel (new or old) with straight or curved spokes with an outer diameter within 3.0” - 3.6”. Either without a drilled shaft hole or a maximum shaft hole of 6.5 mm.

Please if you have anything in this size, send me a private message with pictures, and your asking price including shipping to USA zip code 19147.

Thank you,
Mike

Are you able to finish it yourself? Shapeways has a couple of flywheel models that they can 3d print in brass, but the finish is similar to cast.

PM research sells flywheel castings.  I think price is reasonable.  If you have the capability to finish machine it.

A complex system that does not work is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that worked just fine.

Thanks for all the replies. I am surprised that PM research was present at Cabin Fever, but they did not display any flywheels for sale!
Yes, I can finish any rough castings as I need.
