nders The fly wheel stores up energy at points of the stroke wherethere is an excess of energy developed,and delivers it at pointswhere energy is lacking. However,this is not sufficient in caseof the single cylinder gas engine unless the fly wheel be of 19 abnormal size. If the engine has more than… … 20 The above diagram will show the crank effort of the engineas modified by the fly wheel inertia. It is evident that fora uniform crank effort,which is very desirable whore alternatorsare to be run in synchronism,the greater number ^f cylinders,and therefore oower impulses oer stroke ,the nearer…
