Calculating Energy
The energy, E, stored in a rotating object is
related to its moment of inertia, I, and its
angular velocity, , by this equation:
E = 1/2 * I * 2
The angular velocity, , is the rate at which
something rotates, in radians per second.

Summary
Moment of inertia is determined by both the
mass and shape of an object. Higher moment of
inertia results from more mass further from the
axis of rotation.
The amount of energy a rotating object stores is
determined by its moment of inertia (resistance
to motion) and angular velocity.
When a bike rider pedals, energy is transferred
to the parts of the bike, including the front
wheel.
Some of that energy can be stored in a
flywheel, and returned from the flywheel later.
