Synopsis

How a fly-wheel shields machines from shocks and keeps steady speed

This practical guide explains what a fly-wheel does in engines and presses, and how it differs from a governor. It uses clear examples to show how stored energy smooths motion, and why design choices matter for safety and performance.

The book covers the key ideas, from basic physics to real-world formulas, and shows how to estimate weight, diameter, and speed for a given task. It includes two worked examples, explains practical limits, and discusses when hollow rims or segmented joints help or fail. You’ll also see historical tests that reveal what can cause wheels to fail and how to prevent it.

  • What a fly-wheel does and how it interacts with engine speed and load
  • How to estimate energy storage, wheel size, and rim design
  • Simple formulas and example problems you can use in practice
  • Real-world failures and engineering lessons from tests and experiments

Ideal for engineers, machinists, and students seeking solid, usable guidance on fly-wheels and safe design.
