Continuously charged flywheel type power delivery system
Patent
·
OSTI ID:5856840
In a method of controlling the operation of a flywheel-type power delivery system having an energy-storing flywheel, an internal combustion engine is described operatively coupled to the flywheel for delivering power to the flywheel, and a continuously variable ratio transmission operatively coupled to the flywheel for delivering power to an output shaft. The improvement described here consists of: predetermining a desired maximum output shaft speed limit; and adjusting the working displacement of the engine in proportion to the output shaft speed limit, whereby the efficient power output of the engine is tailored to the power requirements of the system.
