Flywheel Design Calculator | Rotational Inertia & Torque Tool

flywheel design Tool Formula:

Energy Stored (E):

\[ E = 0.5 \times I \times \omega^{2} \]

(where E = energy stored, I = moment of inertia, ω = angular velocity)

Moment of Inertia for a Solid Disk (I):

\[ I = 0.5 \times m \times r^{2} \]

(where m = mass, r = radius)

Angular Velocity (ω):

\[ \omega = \frac{2 \times \pi \times N}{60} \]

(where N = rotational speed in RPM)

The Flywheel Design Calculator assists engineers, students, and other technicians in designing and analyzing flywheels in mechanical systems to provide energy storage, torque smoothing, and load balancing. Flywheels are kinetically stored masses rotating with some angular velocity and are utilized in engines, presses, and industrial machinery.

The required energy storage, shaft speed, material density, and safety factor can be entered by users. The calculator is used to compute flywheel mass, flywheel diameter, moment of inertia, the rotational speed, and the maximum torque. Step-by-step solutions demonstrate formulas on moment of inertia, kinetic energy, angular velocity, and transmission of torque; hence, it is easy to optimize flywheel design for energy storage and smooth running.

SI units are accepted:· N · m, kg, mm, rad/s, J. This is a perfect tool to use by mechanical engineers, design engineers, students, and educators engaged in rotating machinery, engine flywheels, presses, and energy recovery systems to make sure that flywheels are sized correctly and safely.
