Flywheel Energy Capacity

A spoked flywheel.


A flywheel is a mechanical Element used for the storage of pressure under the angular momentum conservation law. Flywheels are blooming suited for this assignment in that they are designed To possess hovering moments of inertia.


Energy Conservation


Therefore, KE = 1/2m(rw)^2.

Energy Capacity

Since the mass of the flywheel and its radius are constant quantities, the energy capacity of a flywheel depends solely on its angular velocity. Although there are more technical considerations for engineering applications such as the tensile strength of the flywheel materials, theoretically the faster it spins, the more energy it stores.



The kinetic energy (KE) of a flywheel depends on its moment of inertia (I) and its angular acceleration (w). The explicit relationship is KE = (1/2)Iw^2. A cylindrical wheel of mass m and radius r will have a moment of inertia I = mr^2.The rule of compel conservation tells us that impact is neither created nor destroyed on the contrary instead conserved. All the more when power changes forms, such as transitioning from translational (linear moving) impact to rotational vigour, the immensity of force in Everyone construction (and in all combinations of the two forms in between) remains the corresponding. Therefore spinning objects such as flywheels that do not release any of their rotational energy to the surrounding environment are said to store energy for the duration of their motion.
