ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for braking a rotating element including a reversible eccentric ring or axial piston pump which may be selectably operatively connected to a rotating element. When either pump is configured to compress ambient fluid into a reservoir, the compressive resistance is transmitted to the rotating element, braking it. When either pump is configured to expand fluid from the reservoir, the resultant torque generated is transmitted to the rotating element, driving it. The invention provides mechanisms for rapidly configuring either pump to compress or expand fluid, and for adjusting pump displacement, respecting a user's demand.
