I am looking forward to seeing your results and photos . I have seen some mention of this in other places ( maybe here -
Biodiesel & SVO Home but could be elsewhere ) but cannot remember the details. It is my understanding that most of the CF's operate at around 3500 rpm, and pull 1200gs. You could pull the same G force using lower RPM and larger rotor . I am curious about supporting the relatively heavy brake drum (axial ? and thrust load at 3500 rpm with std wheel bearings-ie can they take it ? ) Make sure that it is in a strong metal enclosure to protect life and limb in case the rotor (brake drum) flies apart .
