I need a new development tool to help confirm the accuracy of timing events under various conditions. A powered and controllable flywheel with built in degree wheel and timing light would really help out with this.
Here's what I've come up with. The setup is about 80% modeled, and I'm ready to hit the lathe to start making the main pieces.
- Machined and balanced 2" flywheel;
- Uses timing magnet and actual sensor from the NanoEFI core kit;
- Must be capable of driving the flywheel to at least 20,000rpm;
- Degree wheel and timing light;
- Belt driven and powered by a brushless motor;
- Must be inexpensive to build, to optimize the usage of Patron funds.
I'm writing a much more detailed post for the Patron-only Maker section, with more pictures and much more build info. Contributors look for that to drop very soon
