Is a lightened flywheel overrated? (I think so)

He He, now I'm loving it too. I used to make engineering students pee their pants by chalking "Fourier" on the board. Applied to physical materials harmonic analysis problems, you'll need to decide what transforms are applicable. I vote for using eigenfunctions as delineators. LINK

Sometimes in engineering you hit the theoretical wall, and just need to do hard physical operational testing if you want answers. In lieu of setting it all up on a test stand (or cleaning up all the puke after the above lecture) I offer the following alternative calculator. I believe this will give the answers Brent seeks.

Very amusing, my kind of teacher. Had one applied calculus class in my electronics tech school education. Got really good grades but never had a clue as far as really understanding it. Now almost 72 but back then had a good memory and knew if I got a certain type of problem I knew what the answer should look like. Had I gone on to more advanced math I would have flunked. Nice pictures and explanations Mike, you're obviously very smart but I really appreciate your humor and cut the crap conclusion. Drive and enjoy the Model A. There are numerous aspects to this hobby, something for everyone.
