Looking to see if anyone has any thoughts or ideas on sourcing (a) flywheel(s) for bike/human powered shredders? Particularly in the United States, or rural areas, the less expensive the better 🙂 (Let me know if this is better suited to #⚙machines and I'll move it. I'm still kind of new here.)e (edited)

Use a flywheel (it's what the clutch engages with) from a manual transmission vehicle? It'll have a ~6 bolt pattern, you can vary the mass based on how large of a vehicle you source from. If you talk to an auto shop this is regularily thrown away part since they're often replaced (sometimes resurfaced and reused) from doing a clutch replacement.

Yes #⚙machines seems a better place for this convo 😁
