A flywheel is a mechanical device found in a car that is responsible for storing and releasing rotational energy. It is typically connected to the engine's crankshaft. The primary function of a flywheel is to maintain a consistent speed of the engine and smooth out any fluctuations in power delivery.

When the car is in motion, the energy generated by the engine is transferred to the flywheel, which stores it in the form of rotational kinetic energy. This stored energy helps to bridge the gaps in power delivery during gear changes or when the engine speed fluctuates. Additionally, the flywheel provides inertia to the engine, allowing it to maintain a steady rotation and reducing the likelihood of stalling or jerky movements.
