I Got Obsessed Balancing this Flywheel - but the Results were Satisfying

  • this is a 16 lb custom flywheel for the turbo diesel power plant that is going in the second version of the cordless Tesla.
    I had it pretty well balanced but I got a little carried away and I wanted to see how far I could take it because most of the time when balancing a heavy flywheel like this the tolerances are a little loose compared to turbine compressors and turbo Wheels etc.
    I figured balancing things like this is so important and it's not so common so I figured I would show everybody.

    There is something extremely satisfying about rotating mass that’s very balanced

    Anyone who has ever indicated a part in a 4 jaw lathe chuck can appreciate just how balanced you got that. I totally get the obsession lol. And it is worth it.

      ​@@WarpedLabThe quality of car or motorcycle tire balancing machines compared to yours is an awesome idea for a video! At least I think it would be interesting and possibly make some machines seem awful 😮😅. I completely get the obsession with balancing, I get a little out of hand porting anything possible lol! (Different but easy to get obsessed😂) Please make the video haha! Ty for all the cool vids already btw! Stay safe it's gettin hot out there!

    How much would you charge me to balance my clutch and flywheel? I installed them and they’re causing vibration.

    How do you account for the weight of the welds?

    • @WarpedLab
      @WarpedLab  Рік тому +6

      Autogenous welding so no weight loss, however when getting very precise even autogeneous welding relocates the mass ever so slightly. So what I've done with success is weld on the majority of the correction mass, then for the final feather weights I use industrial epoxy.

      @@WarpedLab Back in my day, we used actual feathers for feather weights, and we came together in the same church every Sunday for prayer and never relocated mass ever. You yungings with your plastics and auto generocity don't know how good you gotsem. The only poly Esters we ever had was one Auntie Ester, and she baked apple pie that would make your toes curl, ears flutter, and put HAIR ON YOUR CHEST!
      Other than that, I think you did an okay job on that spinning thing.

      If you don't want to be sucked into the seats I guess you can run the motor in the opposite direction to cancel each other out.
