A variable inertia flywheel having revolute joint assemblies, a roller guide, a first actuator and a second actuator. The revolute joint assemblies are in engagement with a primary mover and include a first member, a second member and a roller. The roller guide is disposed about the revolute joint assemblies. An inner surface of the roller guide is in contact with the rollers and defines cam profiles that cause the rollers to extend and contract, creating a torque disturbance opposed to a primary mover torque ripple. The first actuator is in engagement with the roller guide and moves the roller guide, changing the amplitude and/or the phase angle of the torque ripple. The second actuator is in engagement with the roller guide and rotates the roller guide, changing the phase angle of the torque ripple.
