Where is the car flywheel located?

[LaRicardo]

The car flywheel is located 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: Definition: A disc-shaped component with a large moment of inertia, functioning as an energy storage device. For a four-stroke engine, power is generated once every four piston strokes, meaning only the power stroke produces work, while the exhaust, intake, and compression strokes consume work. Function: The flywheel has a significant moment of inertia. Since the power strokes of each cylinder in the engine are not continuous, the engine speed also fluctuates. When the engine speed increases, the kinetic energy of the flywheel rises, storing energy; when the engine speed decreases, the flywheel's kinetic energy reduces, releasing the stored energy. The flywheel can be used to reduce speed fluctuations during engine operation.
