Greeting non-Facebook people!
I am an aeronautical engineer and over the last few days there has been a lot of uninformed things said about how flywheel blasters actually work on the various Facebook groups I normally inhabit. Seeing as how dual wielding 13 dart per second RapidPistols is now my calling card; I have a bit of a vested interest in educating people on this wonderful technology.

I decided to write this document to try and help people understand flywheel blasters, what motors to choose, and more importantly why from a physics point of view. The document will be improved and expanded over time; this link will always have the most current version.

Have a read and let me know what you think. If I get a good response, I might make this into a video or analyze the physics behind other blaster types.

Hope this is the sorta thing that belongs here and is done right; this is my first post to a Nerf forum thing.
