[TR] Electric Fans: Something Different

[DAVID MASSEY]

 Another determining factor in sizing flywheels is the car weight and gearing.  A heavier flywheel will have more angular inertia and when you let the clutch out that inertia is transferred to the car moving it forward.  A bigger flywheel will get the car moving before the engine dies.

I believe the TR2/3/4 was more or less "balanced" internally.  The flywheel
weighs about 3x what it needs to.  I believe they used the flywheel to
smooth it out.
