You obviously KNOW nothing about elementry school english........torsional harmonics.......hmmmmmmm, lets see a harmonic is a vibration, so the more weight you spin up has more harmonics? I didn't think vibration was something you wanted in a rotating mass. I remember the Ford Courier trucks, so under powered they had to put a 40 lb flywheel in them to keep from stalling the motor when you let the clutch out......Now, explain to me what advantage this additional weight has on a rotating mass in a boat. MP
Ok M.P, let's see have you ever seen a one lung very very old motor with a FLY WHEEL ( hence the name)??? With more rotating weight ( once it is spinning) ( not perpetual motion) let's say in a car.. You leave the line at let's say , well, you load the clutch or trans brake up to 6500 rpm, Now a heavy car which could use the extra rotating mass coupled to the tranny will leave and lug the motor to say 5000 rpm depending on tire size, efficiancy of the set up tire spin etc. would benefit with the heavier rotating mass as opposed to a lighter flex plate.. Would you agree???? So in a boat the question is once the rpm is attained would a heavier flywheel help or hinder?? Without the extra weight it would pull the motor down quicker Under a load correct? So exactly how much the extra weight hinder's the overall acceleration is what's debateable... Can you HONESTLY TELL ME YOU KNOW BASED ON TIME SLIP OR LAP TIME?? Your post is very DEBATEABLE!!! And I honestly think you are chartering in grounds Unbeknown to you!!!!!!!!!!
