A heavy disc attached to an engine's crankshaft to increase its rotary inertia, thereby smoothing its power flow.
A mechanical device that comprises a heavy rotating wheel. It is normally powered by a motor, and stores kinetic energy. If the motor supply fails, the flywheel keeps spinning. Commonly linked to a generator for UPS purposes. A-C, D-F, G-L, M-P, R-T, U-Z.
A large, heavy disc that is attached to the end of the crankshaft. It adds inertia to the engine which results in smoother power flow.
A heavy spinning wheel in which energy is absorbed and stored by means of momentum. On cars, the flywheel is attached to the crankshaft to smooth out firing impulses.
The large, heavy round plate which is held on the front of the engine with the gland nut. This is part of what couples the transmission to the engine. The clutch pressure plate mounts to the flywheel. The gear teeth on the outer edge are what the starter engages to start the engine. There are actually 3 types of flywheels for the T-1; a 6V for a 180mm clutch, a 6V for a 200mm clutch (rare) and a 12V for a 200mm clutch. ALL VWs prior to '67 had the 6V/180mm type with VERY few '66 models which had the 6V/200mm type. ALL '67 and later U.S. models had the 12V/200mm type. The "6V/12V" refers to the voltage of starter which its used to engage the ring gear. A 6V starter CANNOT be used on a 12V flywheel and vise versa.
Wheel that is attached to a rotating shaft to reduce fluctuations or pulsations in its rotation by the addition of weight.
Flywheel energy storage systems are currently used as backup electrical storage in industrial and some commercial applications.
A heavy metal disc attached to an engine's crankshaft that transfers power to the transmission and helps reduce engine vibration. It features a toothed edge driven by the starter motor to start the engine.
regulator consisting of a heavy wheel that stores kinetic energy and smoothes the operation of a reciprocating engine
a cylinder that spins at very high speeds, storing kinetic (movement) energy

a heavy rotating wheel that stores energy
a heavy wheel attached to the shaft of an engine to keep its speed nearly constant
a mechanical battery (a mechanical means of storing energy - simply a mass rotating about an axis)
a rotating, kinetic store of energy
Storing energy in a rotating mass form, Flywheel is a very active substitution of chemical batteries.
A heavy metal rotating wheel that is part of the race car's clutch system, used to keep elements such as the crank shaft turning steadily.
A large, heavy iron or steel disc attached to the rear of an engine crankshaft in order to provide sufficient centrifugal force to smooth the power impulses from the cylinders.
A heavy metal rotating wheel that is part of the clutch system used to keep elements such as the crankshaft, which powers the engine, turning steadily.
Plate mounted to the back of the engine with a gear for the starter to turn the engine.
Large steel disc bolted to rear of a crankshaft to absorb, store and release energy, smoothing the pulses caused when the cylinders fire at different times during each revolution.
A wheel used on an engine or machine and whose rotation energy or inertia is used to prevent excessive or sudden changes in speed. In modern machines the flywheel is usually belted, chained or geared to the driving motor. In many medium and large machines, a clutch is mounted on or within the flywheel.
A heavy rotating metal disc attached to the crankshaft and used to smooth out the pulsing from the pistons.
Wheel that stores energy and helps control speed in some fitness equipment. Fold-Up Model A treadmill that has the ability to be folded up and rolled away to save space.
The large drive wheel on a steam engine in a mill power plant from which power is taken by a system of belts, pulleys and shafts.
A heavy disc of metal attached to the rear of the crankshaft. It smoothes the firing impulses of the engine and keeps the crankshaft turning during periods when no firing takes place. The starter also engages the flywheel to start the engine. Figure 16 The flywheel is mounted to the rear of the crankshaft
An energy storage system that stores energy in the form of a rotating mass. A flywheel system is a functional replacement for a bank of chemical batteries.
This is a large gear mounted to the back of the crankshaft which turns the engine when the starter is cranking.
The flywheel is the larger metal wheel that sits behind the clutch bell and aids the engine's crankshaft with momentum and idling. For more torque and smoother idle use a heavier flywheel; for improved top speed and throttle response use a lighter flywheel. On non-pull start models it also represents how to start the engine with the use of a bump starter or starter box.
A turned, solid-metal cylinder mounted in line with a model locomotive's motor that smooths out the motor's rotating motion to the drive train.
A heavy metal wheel with starter ring gear that is mounted at the rear of the crankshaft. It absorbs energy on power stroke(s), returns energy on other stroke(s), and transfers power to the clutch or torque converter. Front-most part of a clutch assembly that is bolted to the engine crankshaft with a rear surface to provide a smooth friction area for the disc-front facing to contact during clutch engagement.
A disc of large mass which, when rotating, has the tendency to maintain its rotational velocity. This effect is utilised in tape equipment and turntables to maintain constant speed.
A disc shaped pad bolted to the rear end of the crankshaft. Around the outer perimeter is affixed the ring gear. The starter drive engages the ring gear, turning the flywheel, which rotates the crankshaft, imparting the initial starting motion to the engi
A flywheel is a heavy rotating disk used as a storage device for kinetic energy. Flywheels resist changes in their rotational speed, which helps steady the rotation of the shaft when an uneven torque is exerted on it by its power source such as a piston-based (reciprocating) engine, or when the load placed on it is intermittent (such as a piston pump). Flywheels can be used to produce very high power pulses as needed for some experiments, where drawing the power from the public network would produce unacceptable spikes.
