For emergency escape device, I want to incorporate flywheel with centrifugal break. I want concept and tips for designing. ---

Interesting concept. Since an emergency escape device is a safety-critical application, we recommend following applicable safety standards, certification requirements, and reviewing the design with qualified mechanical safety engineers. From a conceptual standpoint, a flywheel can help smooth speed variations, while a centrifugal brake can provide passive overspeed control by increasing braking force as rotational speed rises. Key considerations typically include: Failure modes and fail-safe behavior Maximum descent/escape speed limits Brake heat dissipation and wear Redundancy and emergency stopping capability Testing under worst-case load conditions Compliance with relevant safety standards and certification requirements If your question is related to simulation or validation of such a mechanism, please share more details about the system requirements and intended operating conditions, and the community can discuss modeling and simulation approaches.
