I believe the idea is that a flywheel maintains momentum and makes the rest of the process easier, as opposed to starting cold each time.

- hyko 6y agoThat’s not what is being described though: “You put in the same amount of work (or less) each time, and get more and more out of it the more you repeat it.”
- phreeza 6y agoI guess that works if the "stuff" you put in is torque, and the effect is the angular velocity? In linear coordinates, they could have called it the marketing frictionless skateboard - the more you kick the faster it goes!
