Nope, I don't believe you could vaporize a carbon carbon fly wheel with 10 
pounds of gasoline (thats why we need to get heat of vaporization numbers).
I do belive that you could burn the flywheel on fire with the torch, but
that's not going to happen in a vacuum (or was that what you ment by 
"vaporization").

As for anonymous, no such thing in this world.
As for english major posts, in my case hardly (just read the grammer)
however for any english majors out there please post!!  This thing
is more important to you (as you are more numerous) than it is to 
the technocrats.
