Car Flywheel Diagram. A flywheel is a mechanical device specifically designed to use the conservation of angular momentum so as to efficiently store rotational energy. A form of kinetic energy proportional to the product of its moment of inertia and the square of its rotational speed in particular if we assume the flywheel s moment of inertia to be constant i e a flywheel with fixed mass and second moment of.
This video looks at the importance of flywheels and their purpose within an engine setup. See more transmission images. What is a flywheel.
There s more to a car starter system.
Diagram of car showing clutch location. On a manual transmission car it gives one of the friction surfaces for the clutch. The pinion is brought into contact with the toothed ring on the flywheel by a sliding fork.
