 Opps: I believe it is the other way around:  you need�something flywheel-like up front to make up for lack of weight and  inertia of a wood prop.�Something like a Landoll dampener would not be  necessary with a�METAL (flywheel) prop as the weight and inertia is already  there.�

Actually Archie is correct, the device is a harmonic dampener, or to put it different it absorbs alot of�unwanted vibrations which in effect smooths out the power pulses. A balancer is usually a static�action to correct a shaking motion, the harmonic balancer is an active device doing its thing as the engine runs.�

I work with these on a regular basis, and can assure you the a wooden prop  will

 absorb and dissipate�orders of�harmonics where a metal prop will  not.

 That is not to say it cannot be used, however.

 The dampener may add some flywheel effect but why would anyone install it  for that 

 purpose?�We are not incorporating it�for flywheel effect. The  purpose of any dampener

 is to absorb�torque spikes which are generated in every internal  combustion piston engine.
