Making a Flywheel

Tools to use: Sketch, Revolve
A flywheel is a molded plastic wheel, about 35 mm in diameter, that spins at upwards of 20,000 rpm. Design one that looks like the one in the photo. Don't worry too much about the exact dimensions, but make sure it looks about right. Then, make sure to press Ctrl+S and save...

Oops! Turns out the concavity in the side of the flywheel caused it to turn into a potato. Without undoing anything, modify the flywheel such that the side is flat and not concave. Hint: use the timeline
