I wouldve thought getting it strong here (like dixons) then making a custom flywheel would be the best idea, as in safe and strong. All this is constructive so please dont think I'm trying to put down your idea. Hope all works out, and I may be keen on one as well:)
That is sort of the point (along with others) to use steel instead of alumium... Generally speaking steel has a higher yield strength and lower cost, at the expense of weight and elastic modulus to a certain extent.. Weight really isnt a huge factor in this since it is not rotational.
I thought you told me the mazworx plate is about 14mm thick, im hoping mine is about half that at 7mm or less... Not a huge difference but notable.
