Abstract
A variable inertia flywheel apparatus includes a cylindrical body member defining a longitudinal axis extending between spaced apart front and rear faces of the body member and an arc-shaped groove portion extending circumferentially relative to the longitudinal axis. The arc-shaped groove portion configured to selectively receive one or more tuning weights having a collective mass sufficient to vary an inertial property of the cylindrical body member between a first inertial property with the tuning weights selectively removed from the arc-shaped groove portion, and a second inertial property greater than the first inertial property with the tuning weights selectively received in the arc-shaped groove portion. A variable inertia flywheel system or assembly includes a tuning weight and a variable inertia flywheel apparatus including a cylindrical body member defining a circumferentially extending arc-shaped groove portion configured to selectively receive the tuning weight to vary the inertial property of the cylindrical body member.
