Is flywheel energy storage inertia

The mechanism to engage the flywheel is faulty, probably the solenoid that activates it is either faulty (it moves its internal parts to make contact and so the motor spins, …

How do I stop the flywheel from spinning while torquing the bolts? My repair manual says I should buy a special tool to do it, but I don''t want to buy an expensive tool that …

The starter motor has a small gear ( the pinion gear) which sticks out on a shaft to engage the flywheel. if the pinion gear doesn’t stick out far enough, it will spin but not turn the …

I can''t visualise an engine''s flywheel turning 33 times per second when the car is set to 2,000 RPM - it seems excessive. Have I misunderstood RPM or is that actually how fast …

No grinding,no clicking, just spinning freely, but wouldn''t engage flywheel. Hot another starter figuring this one was shot, preventing it from engaging the flywheel, and in the …

A flywheel serves four main purposes (in most vehicles): It provides mass for rotational inertia to keep the engine in motion It is specifically weighted to provide balance for …

I understand how a clutch can separate the flywheel from the clutch disk so that power is disconnected from the engine. When that happens, does the input shaft (along with …

This previous question explains what a flywheel does and why it is needed. That explanation means that the flywheel needs a certain amount of mass to do its job. However, …

When replacing a starter (or reinstalling the old one), should the pinion that powers the flywheel (is that actually the flywheel?) be greased or not?

A dual mass flywheel (or DMF) is a flywheel that is split into two halves (hence the name...), with a spring or springs between them to dampen out sudden changes in torque and …
