[QUOTE="Rich Rohrich, post: 1252992, member: 16241"] Yes, the moment of inertia ( an object's ability to resist changes in its rotational velocity) would be greater with the ring type. Any time you move the rotating mass away from the point of rotation it requires more torque to speed it up as well as slow it down giving more of a "flywheel" effect. Where is probably as important as "how much" when it comes to modifying flywheels. moment of inertia = k*M*R2 M=mass R=radius (radius is larger with the ring type weight) k = shape dependent inertial constant (technically the constant would be greater for this design as well) [/QUOTE]
