A flywheel is a heavy metal wheel attached to a drive shaft, having most of its weight concentrated at the circumference. Such a wheel resists changes in speed and helps steady the rotation of the shaft where a power source such as a piston engine exerts an uneven torque on the shaft or where the load is intermittent, as in piston pumps or punches. By slowly increasing the speed of a flywheel a small motor can store up energy that, if released in a short time, enables the motor to perform a function for which it is ordinarily too small. The flywheel was developed by James Watt in his work on the steam engine.

Function of flywheel in reciprocating engine?
The flywheel smooths out the pulse of the power stroke and its inertia allows the crank shaft to continue rotating to bring the next piston into position to fire. Look at it like this: You could pedal your bicycle with one foot if the pedal had a flywheel on it.

Does a bad flywheel affect engine performance?
Yes, a bad flywheel can significantly affect engine performance. It plays a crucial role in maintaining engine balance and smooth operation by storing rotational energy and helping to dampen vibrations. If the flywheel is damaged or worn, it can lead to rough idling, difficulty in shifting gears, and reduced power delivery, ultimately impacting overall vehicle performance. Regular inspection and maintenance of the flywheel are essential to ensure optimal engine function.
