Flywheel

Flywheel:-
A flywheel is a rotating mechanical device that is used to
store rotational energy. Flywheels have a significant moment
of inertia and thus resist changes in rotational speed.
Common uses of a flywheel include:
>Providing continuous energy when the energy source is
discontinuous.
>Delivering energy at rates beyond the ability of a
continuous energy source. This is achieved by collecting
energy in the flywheel over time and then releasing the
energy quickly, at rates that exceed the abilities of the
energy source.
>Controlling the orientation of a mechanical system. In such
applications, the angular momentum of a flywheel is
purposely transferred to a load when energy is transferred to
or from the flywheel. :-
