Where is the car flywheel located?

[SanSamantha]

Location of the car flywheel: At the tail end of the engine crankshaft, the steel disc that connects with the clutch is called the flywheel. Below is relevant information about the car flywheel: 1. Definition: A disc-shaped component with a large moment of inertia, functioning like an energy storage device. For a four-stroke engine, power is generated once every four piston strokes—only during the power stroke, while the exhaust, intake, and compression strokes consume energy. 2. Function: The flywheel has a significant moment of inertia. Since the power strokes of each engine cylinder are intermittent, the engine speed fluctuates. When the engine speed increases, the flywheel's kinetic energy rises, storing energy; when the speed decreases, the flywheel's kinetic energy drops, releasing energy. The flywheel helps reduce speed fluctuations during engine operation.
