FLYWHEEL DESIGN
1. Introduction
This project focuses on the design of a mechanical system integrated with a flywheel
to achieve an efficiency of 10%. Utilizing principles of mechanical engineering and dynamics,
this system is analyzed and designed to fulfill specific operational criteria set forth by the
mechanical engineering department.
A dynamic analysis is critical for understanding how forces and torques behave
through the motion cycle. This section delves into the methods used to evaluate these
dynamics, employing principles from physics and engineering to predict and optimize system
performance under real-world conditions.
The trajectory of the slider is crucial for assessing the effective conversion of
rotational motion to linear motion. This analysis covers the path traced by the slider, detailing
how it relates to the operational constraints and aims of the mechanical design.
3. Flywheel Design
This section outlines the specifications and considerations necessary to design an
efficient flywheel, including material selection, dimensional accuracy, and the theoretical
framework used to align the design with the desired 10% efficiency.
Detailed calculations are presented to justify the design choices made for the flywheel.
This includes a discussion on the balance between weight, size, and material properties to
achieve the optimal energy storage and release needed to maintain system efficiency.

Taking into account the density of each rod in the mechanism (7750 kg/m³) and the
diameter of the circular section (1 cm), we need to calculate the mass of the rods. In
calculations, masses can be found using the volume and density of the rods.
