volano

dispositivo meccanico progettato per immagazzinare l'energia cinetica angolare in una massa rotante

AI overview

A flywheel is a heavy rotating wheel that stores energy and releases it smoothly over time, helping machines run more evenly. In early steam engines like Trevithick's 1802 locomotive, the flywheel was essential for distributing the uneven power from a single cylinder into steady, continuous motion.

Il volano è un organo meccanico atto a limitare gli eccessi di energia meccanica motrice sul lavoro meccanico totale (o di quest'ultimo sull'energia motrice) in macchine a . In definitiva, ciò si riduce a mantenere costante la velocità angolare dell'albero motore.
