Fly Wheel
Product Code : JA-PLE-4247
The Fly Wheel (SKU JA-PLE-4247) is a wall-mounted flywheel apparatus for determining the moment of inertia of a flywheel about its axis. The turned and carefully balanced wheel, about 20 cm in diameter and 45 mm wide, runs on a horizontal shaft held in ball bearings, with a marked rim and a fixed pointer for counting revolutions. This flywheel for moment of inertia experiments is a standard item in class 11 and B.Sc mechanics practicals.
Specifications
The wheel is about 20 cm in diameter and 45 mm wide, turned and carefully balanced, on a horizontal shaft in ball bearings; the wheel is marked, a pointer is fixed to the bracket, and the bracket has four holes for fixing to a wall.

Applications of the flywheel for moment of inertia
A mass hung from a cord wound on the axle is released so the wheel spins up; counting the revolutions while the mass falls and after it detaches, using the mark and pointer, gives the moment of inertia of the flywheel and the friction loss.
- Determining the moment of inertia of a flywheel about its axis
- Estimating the work done against friction at the bearings
- Studying conversion of potential energy into rotational kinetic energy
- Illustrating how flywheels store energy in engines and machines
- Class 11-12 and B.Sc physics and engineering mechanics practicals
