ABSTRACT:
A freewheel flywheel transmission system capable of storing and releasing kinetic rotational energy, which includes a shaft rotatively supported by a frame and a plurality of flywheels rigidly mounted on the shaft. The transmission system is provided with an input sprocket for rotating the shaft in response to power transmitted from a power source. A sprocket assembly is mounted on the shaft for transmitting the rotational movement from the flywheels to a drive-wheel sprocket. In one embodiment, power is provided to a freewheel sprocket which rotates the shaft, and thereby the plurality of flywheels. The sprocket assembly includes a first and a second sprocket of different diameters each rotatively supported on bearings on the shaft. First and second clutches are used for engaging, respectively, the first sprocket and a first flywheel of said plurality of flywheels, and the second sprocket and a second flywheel, enabling the user to transfer the energy to the drive-wheel sprocket so as to operate a vehicle in a plurality of modes as the power needs vary.
