Still mis-understood.......

I didn't say the flywheel made or decreased, or increased compression, nor did it have ANY effect on compression. Merely that the flywheel carried kinetic energy, to keep the enging spinning to aid the compression stroke. I was theorizing that with a heavier fly wheel, you could increase the compression ( by different bore, stroke, valve life/duration/timing to increase power output without stalling the engine.

OK I was wrong. I do'nt know too much about these electric engines..
