A New Flywheel.

The tendency of 1ywheels to disinte.
CRATE from centrifugal force is well un-
derstood. This popularity has led to
the invention of a new f1ywheel that is
said to be far superior to anything pre-
vlously used. To a hub is attached
wound wire filing the space between
disks about 30 feet in diameter. This
wire Is No. 5 steel wire and is securely
fastened in place. The wheel is driven
al a speed Of about 24O revolutions per
minute. giving a peripheral velocity of
. $40 miles per minute. This is equal
to about $50 feet per second. It requires
about $50 miles of wire to fli the disks
OF q wheel Ut this size. Among the ex-
periments under consideration are paper
wheels. The tensile strength of paper
is greater than that Of many metals, and
paper rims ON wheels are looked upon
with fayor.-New York Ledger.
