ABSTRACT:
A variable capacity flywheel comprises a main flywheel coupled with the rotating shaft of an engine and at least one rotatable auxiliary flywheel. Both are selectively engaged and disengaged with one another by means of an electromagnetic clutch. Both flywheels are engaged with one another by an energizing member in the low speed range of said engine. Both are disengaged from one another by means of excitation control of the electromagnetic clutch in the high speed range of the engine. A generator driven by the engine rotating shaft is connected in series with the electromagnetic clutch and a battery.
