"Stores electricity."

The flywheel is a crafting surface that is used to store electricity for other crafting surfaces to use.

Appearance

Resembling a crafting surface, a flywheel is silvery white in color with a yellow/gold circle in front. The circle rotates, spinning faster when storing more energy, and not spinning at all when not fueled at all. The wheel of the Flywheel does not seem to be affected by light.

Where Found

A flywheel is created at a workbench (of level 4) for 1 steel block, 1 copper block, 1 electric motor, and 10 copper wires.

Use

There is no crafting possible with just a flywheel. Instead, it takes in and stores electricity from connected solar panels or steam generators. Tapping on a flywheel will bring up a menu with options to remove it or access it. If removed, the flywheel will go into the blockhead's inventory, retaining the electricity already stored.

Accessing a flywheel will display a bar measure showing how much power it's currently storing.

A single solar panel generating for an entire cloudless day will fill approximately 5% of a flywheel's capacity.

When connected electrically to a crafting surface that requires electricity and is in use, a flywheel will begin releasing power and supplying electricity until either the demand ends or its stored power runs out. As a steam generator will provide power on demand, a flywheel will draw on it until it's "full" or the generator runs out of power.

Fuel

Flywheels do not consume items as fuel.
