Theoritical weight loss per gear from lightweight flywheel?

Did I spell theoritical right? Anyways could someone repost the estimated weight loss per gear of a 7.5lb flywheel? I know it wasn't right on since mass distribution was unknown but I figure its pretty close. Thanks.

I assume that you are talking about the equivalent weight loss that would be needed to get the same acceleration as dropping x pounds from the flywheel. The effect is strongly dependent on torque and gearing. This page explains it better than I can though. http://www.pumaracing.co.uk/flywheel.htm
