Definitions and meanings of "Flywheel"

What do we mean by flywheel?

A heavy-rimmed rotating wheel used to minimize variations in angular velocity and revolutions per minute, as in a machine subject to fluctuation in drive and load. noun

An analogous device, especially one used to regulate the speed of clockwork. noun

In machinery, a wheel with a heavy rim placed on the revolving shaft of any machinery put in motion by an irregular or intermitting force or meeting with an irregular or intermittent resistance, for the purpose of rendering the motion equable and regular by means of its momentum. noun

A heavy wheel or disk which stores kinetic energy by rotating on a shaft, and by its momentum smoothes the operation of a reciprocating engine by reducing fluctuations of speed. It is used in certain types of machinery, such as automobiles. noun

A rotating mass used to maintain the speed of a machine within certain limits while the machine receives or releases energy at a varying rate noun

Regulator consisting of a heavy wheel that stores kinetic energy and smooths the operation of a reciprocating engine noun

A rotating mass used to maintain the speed of a machine within certain limits while the machine receives or releases energy at a varying rate.

A description applied to a girl with large breasts, a large butt, but who is otherwise thin and scrawny. The term comes from the fact that she is distributed weight-wise similar to a flywheel, implying that if she started to fall she would roll. Urban Dictionary
