ABSTRACT:
An energy conserving flywheel having a plurality of weights mounted on the periphery thereof. A wheel mounted to an axle is rotatable therewith. A plurality of lift arms are rotatably mounted by clutches at the circumference of the wheel and rotate only in a direction opposite to the rotation of the wheel. Each lift arm includes a first weighted end and an opposite second end having a roller thereon. The weights are spaced at equal intervals around the circumference of the wheel with each weight having a mating weight located diagonally therefrom. An upper timing cam contacts the rollers of each weight forcing the weighted end outwardly of the wheel circumference whereas a slower timing cam contacts the roller ends forcing the weighted ends inwardly. The two timing cams cooperatively cycle the weighted ends outward and inward once per revolution of the wheel.
