Description
Our
flywheels
utilize
a
patent
pending
"segmented"
heat
shield
system.
Traditional
heat
shields
warp
because
of
the
uneven
heat
produced
by
a
slipping
clutch.
Just
like
a
car
going
around
in
a
circle,
the
outside
tires
go
faster
than
the
inside
tires,
the
clutch
disc
slides
faster
around
the
outside
of
the
flywheel
than
it
does
around
the
inside.
The
faster
moving
outside
gets
hotter
than
the
inside.
Because
metal
expands
more
the
hotter
it
gets,
the
outside
of
the
heat
shield
expands
more
than
the
inside.
Traditional
heat
shields
are
made
of
one
piece
metal
rings,
so
when
the
outside
expands
more
than
the
inside,
the
only
thing
the
shield
can
do
is
warp.
The
segmented
heat
shields
are
not
connected
so
they
can
expand
and
contract
without
warping.
A
warped
heat
shield
causes
the
clutch
to
slip,
which
causes
more
heat
and
more
warpage.
Our
Billet
Flywheels
are
dynamically
balanced
after
CNC
machining.
Other
flywheel
manufactures
assume
that
since
they
CNC
their
flywheels
it
comes
off
the
machine
fully
balanced.
This
would
be
true
assuming
the
density
of
the
aluminum
is
constant
throughout
the
part.
Unfortunately
even
the
best
billet
material
is
not
evenly
dense
throughout
and
the
starter
ring
gears
are
never
perfect.
RPS
Flywheels
are
also
fully
rebuildable
for
the
life
of
the
car.
