Quickly determine the kinetic energy stored in a flywheel using this precise calculator. Ideal for engineers, students, and energy storage system designers, it helps estimate rotational energy based on a flywheel's mass, radius, and angular velocity (RPM).
Formula:
Energy (E) = (1/4) × m × r² × ω²
Where:
- E = Kinetic Energy (Joules)
- m = Mass of the flywheel (kg)
- r = Radius of the flywheel (m)
- ω = Angular Velocity (radians/second)
- ω = (RPM × 2π) / 60
This formula is based on a solid disk flywheel.
