ABSTRACT:
The radial/rotary propulsion system of the present invention features a flywheel having concentric rings of permanent magnets attached to one or both sides or embedded into the flywheel. These permanent magnets interact with DC powered electromagnets which, when selectively energized, impart rotary motion to the flywheel. By arranging the permanent magnets in concentric rings, better control of both speed and torques may be obtained. In addition, in a regenerative mode, inertia of the flywheel is reconverted to electrical energy by either additional permanent magnet/coil combinations or through the switching of the electromagnet coils normally used for rotating the flywheel. A controller/sequencer constantly receives input signals for throttle, braking, flywheel rotational position, and battery level, and in response provides signals to control activation of electromagnets for drive, braking, and regeneration. As a flywheel accelerates or decelerates, the controller/sequencer constantly adjusts which electromagnets are to be energized, when, and for how long. Utilizing electromagnets with a range of different resistances provides additional flexibility.
