SUMMARY

The discussion centers on determining the appropriate size of a flywheel to be driven by an 1100 watt motor, with the goal of storing at least 700 joules of energy. A flywheel calculator is recommended as a tool to calculate the necessary dimensions and weight of the flywheel to achieve this energy storage. It is emphasized that power is defined as energy per unit time, highlighting the relationship between energy storage and power output in flywheel systems.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of flywheel energy storage principles
  • Familiarity with power calculations (energy per unit time)
  • Knowledge of motor specifications and performance metrics
  • Experience using flywheel calculators for design purposes
NEXT STEPS
  • Research how to use a flywheel calculator effectively
  • Study the relationship between flywheel mass and energy storage capacity
  • Learn about the dynamics of rotating systems and their energy dissipation
  • Explore advanced concepts in mechanical energy storage systems
USEFUL FOR

Engineers, mechanical designers, and hobbyists interested in energy storage solutions and flywheel dynamics will benefit from this discussion.

hi sir
i have 1100 watt motor and i want to rotat the fly wheel from rest to 1450 rpm.i want to know how big should be
3.jpg
the flywheel to rotate at the motor 1100 watt and to get extra energy 700 joule or more than if possiable
best regard
thnx

I'm not sure I understand what you are looking for, but doesn't that flywheel calculator tell you how big/heavy the flywheel needs to be to store 700J?

Also, just to be clear: power is energy per unit time. Flywheels store energy and how long it takes to dissipate that energy determines the power.
