Title: volant d'inertie → flywheel

volant d'inertie → flywheel

 Un volant d'inertie est, dans une machine tournante, une masse liée à la partie animée d'un mouvement de rotation, répartie autour de l'axe de telle sorte qu'elle confère à l'ensemble une plus grande inertie en rotation, dans le but de rendre plus régulier le régime de fonctionnement, en s'opposant aux à-coups dus au moteur entraînant le dispositif ou au récepteur consommant l'énergie transmise.

 A flywheel is a mechanical device with a significant moment of inertia used as a storage device for rotational energy. Flywheels resist changes in their rotational speed, which helps steady the rotation of the shaft when a fluctuating torque is exerted on it by its power source such as a piston-based (reciprocating) engine, or when an intermittent load, such as a piston pump, is placed on it.

Flywheel of Leonardo da Vinci: Designed around 1497. The idea is that the more you turn, the easier it becomes to turn, as the balls build up momentum.
