11.5Kg high rotation flywheel, for a 20Kg platter, both magnetically levitated!
Hi,
The following is an extreme design in my favourite analogue domain, which I thought I should share:
Please, visit: aca.gr/paper37.htm, which is a paper (included in the http://aca.gr pages), mainly describing most of the technicalities of a huge flywheel design (turning at 375rpm for 33.33RPM) for a huge platter, both magnetically suspended (many pictures included).
I am also taking the chance to review my whole analogue set-up, raising and analysing many subjects of an analogue system as a whole.
So, I cover the following subjects:- 1. The current state of the analogue set-up. ('aas gabriel', Swiss hand made t/t)
2. The description of the t/t elements.
3. The flywheel project. (My extreme DIY intervention...)
4. The finished analogue system set-up & accessories.
Listening comments and concluding notes will follow soon, after the break-in period...
Regardless of the extremism of the design, let me assure you that many of the included topics will sound familiar and clear up, (I hope), some of your queries you possibly have, regarding a good analogue set-up...
I wish you all a very Happy New Year 2004.
No Sir, NO rumble at all...

Last updates finish my heavy flywheel project
There have been updates to this paper and it is now finished (at last...)
If you have time, please re-visit:

Sorry for the 20 months delay...
a 16mm belt would've been another solution
Thanks very much for your feedback Maron.
Surely they make flat belts, as wide as you like, and probably you are right (I supose you are talking about substituting the 5 round belts, with a wider flat one...)
I just worked out the contact area of 5 x 2mm round belts and the contact area is more than that of a 10mm flat belt. (Comes out to be 16mm...)
So maybe a 16mm belt would've been another solution, but... I do not have the courage for further experimentation...
I have no slippage at all, as I am now anyway...
