Introduction
Flywheels are used to provide continuous energy in
systems, where the energy source is not continuous.
In such cases, the flywheel stores energy when
torque is applied by the energy source, and it
releases stored energy when the energy source is
not applying torque to it.
In a reciprocating engine, a flywheel is used to
maintain constant angular velocity of the crankshaft.
The flywheel, which is mounted on the crankshaft,
stores energy when torque is exerted on it by a firing
piston, and it releases energy to its mechanical loads
when no piston is exerting torque on it.
