ABSTRACT:
A power system has a flywheel coupled to a power shafting so that when the rotational velocity of the shaft increases the flywheel is slowly accelerated to shaft speed. During this period a loose friction drive coupling the flywheel to the shaft is utilized. At periods when overloading of the system occurs, the shaft will tend to slow down. However, due to inertia, the flywheel tends to maintain velocity as the shaft speed diminishes. During this period an overriding clutch, incorporated in the flywheel hub couples the energy stored in the flywheel to the power shafting, temporarily supplementing the prime power source.
