ABSTRACT:
An improved internal combustion engine arrangement for providing increased fuel efficiency, reduced pollution, and an improved starter and generator arrangement. An internal combustion engine having a flywheel for equalizing non-uniformities of engine output torque has a first conventional clutch for shifting gears, and a second controllable clutch between the flywheel and engine for selectively disconnecting and stopping the engine during certain operating states of the vehicle. A combined starter-generator is provided having a toothed, windingless rotor fixed on the flywheel periphery and a stator surrounding the rotor and provided with windings both for generating current, and for imparting rotational force on the flywheel, which in turn starts the engine.
