Any thoughts on a centrifical clutch setup for a direct drive brushless? It would have to stay engaged (spelling?)under braking and work at a low rpm. Wouldn't this fix all cogging issues?

I'm picturing a clutch (old old school) that had two weights on levers that would spin out with rpm, pushing (leverage) on a clutch disc. I remember seeing them on elevators for speed brakes and at a power pland to control a turbine flow valve. Hope you know what I'm jabbering about :)

I also saw a modernized version for harley davidsons that used sliding weights that spun between two concave washers to apply force to the clutch. I'll see if I can find a photo to help you all understand.


If I could only draw what I see in my head, then afford to build it, and finaly get to play with it...
