Anyone know suppliers of a device that can take the power off a
flywheel to power a long shaft?
No transmission.

Look into marine stuff. Inboard/outboard drives have a rubber coupling that
goes on the flywheel, then a splined shaft goes into a metal receiver
mounted in the rubber part.

They need to have the shaft supported by a bearing, very close to the rubber
coupling.

Look into Gates, on the Internet. They have more power transmitting devices
than you ever thought existed.

Caution should be used, if you have an idea of driving a prop from this long
driveshaft. Harmonic vibrations in the shaft can tear apart a drive system
in very short order, and eliminating them is a black science, not to be
taken lightly.
