Thus, in each revolution there are two points where all leverage or power is lost, points which are surmounted because of the momentum given by the flywheel. Clearly we should get most out of an engine if it could be kept working near the points of maximum leverage with the lever as nearly as possible at right angles to the crank-pin. Showing the crank-pin of an engine at: A, First dead centre.
A further very important characteristic of the rotary-cylinder engine is that no flywheel is used; in a stationary engine it has been found necessary to have a fly-wheel in addition to the propeller. The rotary-cylinder engine acts as its own fly-wheel, thus again saving considerable weight.
It became apparent, even in the early stages of heavier-than-air flying, that four-cylinder engines did not produce the even torque that was required for the rotation of the power shaft, even though a flywheel was fitted to the engine.
And when we have shifted the engine, I send off a telegram of gibberish to its makers at New York, something like this: Toggle-joint abandoned change thrust-bearing accordingly distance from forward side of flywheel to face of stern post sixteen feet six inches.
They partook of some tea together hastily, after which Solomin put on his grey, greasy working-jacket and set out for the factory; and his life began to go round again like some huge flywheel. But the thread had to be broken again.
"Other people say there is, so get the heat through and obey orders." Then, with sudden anger, "Is the job too big for you?" He turned away abruptly, passing the whirling flywheel, the ponderous cylinders, the glowing ovens, while above him the traveling crane moved like a whining monster across the blackened roof.
Benedict formed a framework of living points upon which was stretched the moral life of Europe. The vast and increasing endowments of great and fixed religious houses formed the economic flywheel of those centuries. They were the granary and the storehouse.
Nyoda got out of the car to see what had been damaged. "As far as I can see, only the lamp bracket is bent," she said, but when she tried to start the car again it wouldn't start. "Maybe the driving spider has caught the flywheel," said Sahwah, trying to be funny. Just then the red roadster did pass us, going slowly, and the Frog kept his eyes riveted on Nyoda all the while.
