Theory of Machines

The flywheel is used to store rotational energy and smooth out the power output from a machine or to maintain constant speed.

Cams are used to convert rotary motion into linear motion or vice versa, and are often used in mechanisms to control the timing of valve opening and closing in engines.

Brakes are used to stop or slow down the motion of a machine, while dynamometers are used to measure the power output of a machine.
