Design and Dynamic Analysis of Flywheel

Abstract

A flywheel is an inertial energy-storage device. In this paper totally all dimensions have found theoretically for required power 20 KW and it is rotating from 400 RPM to 410 RPM. Fly wheel are modeled in PRO/E 5.0 software and this is analyzed with considering at different time interval and different loading conditions have found from theoretically. Countering the requirement of smoothing out the large oscillations in velocity during the cycle of a mechanism system, a flywheel is designed and analyzed. In that four time intervals are considered like motion less, starting position, changing speed and constant speed. Weight reduction is major important and maintain minimum stresses, here another three type of flywheels have chosen like flywheel with extended hub support, rim type and elliptically rim type.
