Re: [EVGRAY] help!

Body

Guys I'll explain my idea. I'm building a power generator so I can get  
off the national grid, because in Italy they are thieves. The system  
is that of Chas Campbell, a large flywheel of 2 meters in diameter  
(about 7 feet) weighing about 550 pounds that is rotated by this 5.5  
horsepower engine in a rotoverter way, and the wheel will turn a 8kwa  
three-phase alternator (11kw but effective 8kwa). Only I would like to  
connect everything with straps to turn the wheel, and not in a jerked  
way, but continued. Have any of you already tried to do it?
