  1. NO.

    If it did, we would put huge flywheels on all motors to get free HP.


  2. might smooth out power pulses but will not add HP,will also slow down acceleration and deceleration

  3. The usual purpose of a flywheel is to smooth out the pulses of power from a combustion engine, but it can be used to provide power when an electric motor by itself would be stalled by an increase in load.

  4. No, it will increase it's reciprocating mass however.
