Mechanical Flywheel

A mechanical flywheel is a sturdy, spinning disk or wheel designed to store rotational energy. When energy is added, it spins faster; when energy is removed, it slows down. Its primary purpose is to smooth out fluctuations in power delivery, providing consistent energy output in machines like engines, power plants, or machinery. Because of its rotational inertia, a flywheel resists changes in speed, helping to maintain steady operation and reduce peaks and troughs in energy use. Overall, it acts as a stabilizer, ensuring machinery runs smoothly and efficiently.
