the clutch was an important invention for internal combustion engines due to it allowing power transfer to the transmission/drivetrain on demand, it also allows the car to stop without stalling or having the engine turn off. I hope this demonstration/prototype could be used in many other concepts. The imput side is powered by a blasto vtol, and the output side is a large spoked design thats weighted with 4000lbs, and to use it just throttle to whatever amount you choose and just move vtol up to push the imput side of the clutch to the output side

    also by the way this model can be easily scaled down to very very small with a little help of modding and the stand wouldn't be needed because it would be attached to the vehicle
