  "term": "Flywheel",
  "field": "Industrial and trades",
  "definition": "A heavy rotating disk used to store rotational energy and smooth out variations in angular velocity in a mechanical system. It resists changes in speed, providing a more uniform output from intermittent power sources like internal combustion engines. Flywheels are characterized by their moment of inertia, which determines their energy storage capacity.",
