This is the explanation I was looking for. Previous video I was watching mentioned an application of flywheels for what they do in a car, but I was looking for how the flywheel itself worked.
@@rushikesh2320 What you said was obvious and known. The very reason we watched the video is to know how it keeps in rotating for long when force is removed.
I study renewable energy and we are working on a lab analyzing the performance of a flywheel my institute purchased many moons ago (that has since been discontinued).. however, before plotting the data I wanted to understand conceptually what was happening (not just energy in, stored, energy out). This video cleared things up!! Thank you
Ok that means first we give the energy to the motor and the motor rotates the wheel ( motoring action) and after that the wheel regenerates the electricity (Generatoring action) & driving the motor with tremendous speed , and gives more and more electricity .This whole process is done in vacuum Chamber & by using electromagnetic bearing, for negligible friction.
Yes 45von! But one needs to read the full concept details of Bill Gray's patented idea for a low friction spinning flywheel. It could well revolutionise electric energy storage thus making the use of photovoltaic solar collectors more practical and more importantly affordable.
Flywheels are used to supply power from a diesel engine to a generator in a locomotive. The flywheel makes sure the rotational kinetic energy from the engine is supplied to the generator in a smooth motion.
I love this site I have learned so much so far. I thought solar was the way to go, but solar is not performing like I would like it to. Maybe very large magnets placed where they would repelling each other, on a flywheel. I want 208/240 volts
The flywheel power storage can be used for the power supply of the tram. When the tram decelerates, the flywheel is used to store power. When the tram accelerates, the flywheel supplies power to the motor.
modern flywheel spin very fast, they are in a vacuum and magneticly flying so no friction with metal or air but because of heat they are 90-95% efficient
Mike Wentz I drive manual, and when I push the clutch in, effectively putting the car in neutral, the rpm returns to the idling level. when the car is moving, and you remain in gear, the wheels spin the engine which causes the rpm to stay at the same level as it was prior to taking your foot off of the gas pedal. as the car slows down, the delta rpm will be proportional to the delta speed. however, if you press in the clutch the rpm will drop to idling (in my cars case 1100 rpm) and stay there, even when the car isn't moving; however, if the car is in gear, and comes to a stop (when I say stop I refer to the angular velocity of the wheels), the rpm will drop to 0, and you will stall.
You spin the flywheel up using electrical energy to power it's motor. when you stop powering the motor, the flywheel keeps the motor spinning, and spinning a motor makes electrical energy. Realistically it's just used to convert small bursts of energy into longer sustained energy

Best video I found...short, clear and to the point. Thanks

Any updates on how that is going? I'm curious and interested that sounds interesting
Great explanation, realized I had heard of flywheels and knew what they did but never really knew how!
This was very informative and exactly what I needed. Thank you!
I was sad to find your project on indefinite hold. Both your flywheel and your Symphony system for micro grids was exactly what I am looking for.

I was doing due diligence on a crypto and ended up here!
good and simple video

Gavin Hull not only that though
FLYWHEELs are used so that during power cuts or some faults the generator dosent suddenly stop...instead it stops slooowly..!!
Karan Pandya and in cars and in NASA things
@Giggitee O'Yeah who?
@@bluecatdk don't bother, from the way he said dumbfck, we can conclude that he was referring to himself.
How did this help and the video did not
simply superb..

John Johns then get an inverter.
The flywheel power storage can be used for the power supply of the tram. When the tram decelerates, the flywheel is used to store power. When the tram accelerates, the flywheel supplies power to the motor.
Isentropic pumped heat energy storage is the way to go, but this is good for starting up plants
Is there Anyone that thinks they just saw something New in this video clip??
truly nice

Good Vid
you idea is quite right, but dynamo generator always tends to get warm.
where did you store the energy in the flywheel if only the store kinetic energy stored it will eventually used up accordingly.
yeah but how is the flywheel separated form the generator when electricity isn't needed ?
the same way as a car with a clutch mechanism regards graham
How much does this cost and can I put it on a sailboat?
Rail Car Energy Storage is the answer
Is this why car RPM dont suddenly go down when not stepping the gas pedal?
the rpm actually stays consistent because the wheels keep spinning the engine.
yes, when in neutral
Mike Wentz I drive manual, and when I push the clutch in, effectively putting the car in neutral, the rpm returns to the idling level. when the car is moving, and you remain in gear, the wheels spin the engine which causes the rpm to stay at the same level as it was prior to taking your foot off of the gas pedal. as the car slows down, the delta rpm will be proportional to the delta speed. however, if you press in the clutch the rpm will drop to idling (in my cars case 1100 rpm) and stay there, even when the car isn't moving; however, if the car is in gear, and comes to a stop (when I say stop I refer to the angular velocity of the wheels), the rpm will drop to 0, and you will stall.
1100 rpm is above normal. Usually the idling range is around 750-900 rpm
@@keshavakella762 please take a look at Super efficient ICE. Google search Deferred Atkinson Cycle engine.
No but I kind of dont understand where this would be practical to use.
why don't just use a battery?
unless you are using electric cars, flywheels are req in the car engines to produce power and to complete the strokes of pistons
Watched it and didn't get it at all. If the fly wheel is spinning freely how can it turn anything at all?
You spin the flywheel up using electrical energy to power it's motor. when you stop powering the motor, the flywheel keeps the motor spinning, and spinning a motor makes electrical energy.
