The 14 pages that link to Flywheel, each with the reason it gives.

• Kinetic energyRelated: Its stored energy is rotational kinetic energy.

• CrankshaftRelated: It stores energy between power strokes and helps the crankshaft turn smoothly.

• Moment of inertiaBroader topic: A large moment of inertia helps a flywheel store energy and resist speed changes.

• InertiaRelated: Its rotational inertia helps resist changes in speed and smooth mechanical motion.

• CounterweightCompared with: Unlike a balancing mass, a flywheel primarily stores rotational energy rather than offsetting a load.

• Rotational motionBroader topic: Its large rotational inertia helps smooth changes in a machine’s speed.

• WheelBroader topic: It uses rotational inertia to stabilize machinery rather than move a vehicle.

• Reciprocating engineRelated: It smooths the uneven torque produced as the engine’s cylinders deliver power.

• Angular accelerationRelated: Its moment of inertia controls the angular acceleration caused by changing drive torque.

• RotorRelated: A motor rotor’s mass and speed can affect stored rotational energy.

• Toy gunRelated: Some electric dart blasters use spinning wheels to accelerate foam darts.

• Machine pressRelated: In mechanical presses, it stores energy between strokes and supplies it during pressing.

• Stationary bicycleRelated: Its inertia can make pedaling feel more like the momentum of a moving bicycle.

• Trip hammerRelated: Flywheels can steady power delivery in mechanically driven hammer systems.
