TinselKoala, you have a nice wheel build, but I wonder why some segments in it has no holes in it drilled. Is it intentional making this wheel unbalanced? (the wheel has three segments without holes in them).

@aleks:
Sorry to take so long to reply, somehow I missed the question earlier.

I started to build the rotor using a scrap piece of acrylic plastic from our junk pile. It already had the 6 equally-spaced holes all the way through in the circular pattern.

Later, when I balanced the wheel, I made the other holes (actually they don't go all the way thru so they are spotfaces or recesses) to remove weight. It looks a little odd, but it's balanced quite well.

@Harvey:
I missed yours too, sorry. I think that it would be equivalent to a single wheel with "ABHammers" on it. I don't think "centrifugal force" will help at all.
