ABSTRACT:
A vehicle drive system which consists of a piston engine prime power source combined with a high inertia acyclic generator used in conjunction with a D.C. motor to provide a bi-directional variable speed transmission of power between the load and the energy source. Sufficient energy accumulates in the inertia of the generator rotor to provide intermittent quantities of energy for acceleration of the vehicle. In this manner, highly efficient engines not presently suitable for use in vehicle propulsion can be utilized as well as the recouping of kinetic energy (regenerative braking) usually lost in heat dissipation by the friction brakes.
