The flywheel is a component in a engine that helps to store rotational energy. It is typically located at the rear of the engine and is bolted directly to the crankshaft. The flywheel serves several important functions, including providing a smooth and consistent transfer of power from the engine to the transmission, helping to balance out any vibrations or unevenness in the engine's operation, and providing inertia when starting the engine.
