flywheel
ˈflaɪˌwil-
(n)
flywheel
regulator consisting of a heavy wheel that stores kinetic energy and smooths the operation of a reciprocating engine
-
(n)
flywheel
In machinery, a wheel with a heavy rim placed on the revolving shaft of any machinery put in motion by an irregular or intermitting force or meeting with an irregular or intermittent resistance, for the purpose of rendering the motion equable and regular by means of its momentum.

In order to explore the complexity and diversity of the flywheels' dynamics, we have developed the real-physics computer model of a universal mechanical rotor.

Superconducting Flywheel Model for Energy Storage Applications
Utilization of the superconducting levitation phenomena in large scale mechanical devices of low energy consumption, like flywheels for energy storage, is an obvious but promising application of high temperature superconductors (HTS) .
Superconducting Flywheel Model for Energy Storage Applications
The idea of the superconducting flywheel or a superconducting bearing in general, is simple: there is no energy loss in the system where rotation is realized coaxially to completely axisymmetric magnetic field.
Superconducting Flywheel Model for Energy Storage Applications
As output of the model we measure time dependencies of frequency and energy of the rotor: w (t), W(t) and W(w). The most important parameter for the flywheel applications is energy loss, especially in HTS bearings.
