Although this mechanical component may have different shapes, such as a cylinder or an outer ring, in automotive applications, it is typically a one-inch-thick, one-foot-wide, 10 to 40-pound solid metal disk connected to the end of the crankshaft of the engine. Name it.
Answer Flywheel
In the absence of a flywheel, the crankshaft would slow down during the compression stroke, accelerate quickly during the power stroke, and cruise during the exhaust and intake strokes. This would result in an unbalanced power flow and considerable vibration. For this reason, the flywheel is the ultimate part responsible for better momentum.
