Synopsis: Energy can be stored in a flywheel or a spring and used for a variety of practical purposes. Shows a flywheel used in an experimental train to store and release energy, and of dampers and springs in action. Analyses idealised models involving a simple weights and pulley system and a spring and mass system in terms of kinetic and potential energy. Calculates all the contributions to the energy of the system to predict successfully the end states of each demonstration.

Notes: NB. As of May 2016 Open University Worldwide are no longer distributing DVDs. They have posted this message on their website: ‘Unfortunately Open University Worldwide Limited has decided that product sales are no longer viable given the reduced funding to Higher Education institutions and diminishing demand for the products we have traditionally stocked. At present the Open University Students Association (OUSA) will continue to sell the "Good Study Guide", and we are in discussion with other possible distributors to continue to make The Open University’s products available for purchase. As soon as we have any information on other channels of distribution we will update this notice’. Some products are still available via second hand dealers on Amazon.co.uk
