Le volant est constitué d'une masse tournante parfaitement équilibrée, et présentant un moment d'inertie important par rapport à son axe de rotation. Il sert à réguler la vitesse de rotation d'un arbre utilisé dans une transmission de mouvement, et sur lequel il est fixé. Si cette vitesse augmente, il en limite l'accroissement en absorbant une partie de l'énergie correspondante, qu'il pourra restituer à l'arbre si sa vitesse vient à diminuer, afin de réduire cette diminution. 1, record 2, French, - volant
