Flywheels

Flywheels are rotating energy reservoirs that absorb energy during one portion of an operating cycle and deliver that stored energy as useful work during another portion. They are used in machines like punch presses, engines, compressors, and steam engines. Flywheel design includes a rim, arms, and a hub. Kinetic energy calculations consider factors like weight, maximum and minimum speeds, diameter, width, thickness, density. Moment of inertia also factors into kinetic energy calculations. The coefficient of fluctuation indicates how well a flywheel smooths out energy fluctuations over a cycle, and is based on maximum and minimum speeds. Punching metal requires a certain energy and force that can be calculated based on shear stress, area, thickness
