It’s a pretty heavy, solid disc, usually made of steel or iron. It has a few key jobs. First, it stores rotational energy. Think of it like a little battery for your engine’s momentum. It smooths out the power delivery, because the engine doesn't fire on all cylinders perfectly evenly. It also provides the surface for the starter motor to actually grab and crank the engine when you turn the key. And finally, a lot of flywheels have a toothed ring gear around the outside that the starter engages with. It's a core piece inside the engine's crankcase, right near the piston. It’s directly connected to the crankshaft. As the pistons fire and move up and down, they turn the crankshaft, and that spinning motion is transferred to the flywheel. It’s a fundamental part of how the engine gets the car moving. You’ll find it on anything with an internal combustion engine—cars, trucks, motorcycles, even lawnmowers. It’s incredibly important. Without it, your engine would run really jerky, and it might not even start reliably. It acts like a shield against those uneven power pulses. If the flywheel gets damaged – say, it cracks or gets really worn – you’ll notice if it’s bad. You'll likely have trouble starting the car, the engine might shake more than usual, and you could even have trouble keeping it running. It’s a key component that a lot of people don't think about until something goes wrong.
