I. INTRODUCTION Flywheel basis:


In mechanics, a flywheel is an entirely passive, that only adds additional inertia system so that you can store kinetic energy. This handout continues coasting when ceases torque which propels it. Thus, the flywheel opposes sudden acceleration in a rotational movement. It is able to reduce the angular velocity fluctuations. That is, the flywheel is used to smooth the flow of power between a power source and load. In a car the principal function of a car flywheel is to maintain the rotary inertia in the car engine, avoiding engine timing troubles and cycle instabilities.

I. INTRODUCTION
At present numerous lines of research are open to finding new applications for the flyers. Examples of such uses are: Absorbing the energy of braking a vehicle, so that its acceleration later reuse (KERS).
