We have already discussed what a flywheel is and its uses in the previous article. A flywheel used in machines serves as a reservoir that stores energy during the period when the supply of energy is more than the requirement and releases it during the period when the requirement of energy is more than the supply. In the […]

What is the Fluctuation of Energy?
We have already discussed what a flywheel is and its uses in the previous article. A flywheel used in machines serves as a reservoir that stores energy during the period when the supply of energy is more than the requirement and releases it during the period when the requirement of energy is more than the […]
What is the Coefficient of Fluctuation of Speed?
The ratio of the maximum fluctuation of speed to the mean speed is called the coefficient of fluctuation of speed. The difference between the maximum and minimum speeds during a cycle is called the maximum fluctuation of speed. Let us discuss how the flywheel can reduce the fluctuation of speed. Flywheel We have already discussed what a […]
How to find the Factor of Safety for Chain Drives?
We have discussed belt drives and rope drives that slipping may occur. To avoid slipping, steel chains are used. The chains are made up of a number of rigid links which are hinged together by pin joints to provide the necessary flexibility for wrapping around the driving and driven wheels. These wheels have projecting teeth of special profile and fit […]
