A flywheel is a mechanical device with 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 the load placed on it is intermittent (such as a piston pump). Flywheels can be used to produce very high power pulses as needed for some experiments, where drawing the power from the public network would produce unacceptable spikes. A small motor can accelerate the flywheel between the pulses. Recently, flywheels have become the subject of extensive research as power storage devices for uses in vehicles; see wikipedia:flywheel energy storage.

- A flywheel is a heavy rotating disk used as a repository <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Repository">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Repository</a> for angular momentumhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angular_momentum.
- Most of the time, the flywheel is part of something called a flywheel system, which includes the flywheel itself, wiring, and other details to make the system work. There are a few wires connected to the mechanism which are powered by different types of batteries, dependent on the blaster. Blasters that use this mechanism are all electronic blasters, which means that the electronic blasters use batteries.
