AI overview
A flywheel is a heavy rotating wheel that stores energy and releases it smoothly over time, helping machines run more evenly. In early steam engines like Trevithick's 1802 locomotive, the flywheel was essential for distributing the uneven power from a single cylinder into steady, continuous motion.
