Abstract

A power transmission system that comprises a prime mover (1), a flywheel (2) and an epicyclic gear set with clutches (4, 9, 10 and 12) by which either the prime mover or the flywheel can be connected co-axially to the input of an infinitely variable transmission (15). The prime mover (1) may be an internal or external combustion engine. The flywheel system may comprise at least one flywheel, and optionally an electrical machine, and optionally a second flywheel which is arranged to rotate in opposite direction to the first flywheel. The transmission may be fitted with the various auxiliaries that are frequently used in vehicles and these auxiliaries may be driven by a shaft from the transmission, even with the vehicle at rest, and with the prime mover stopped. The electrical machine may also be independent of the flywheel, attached and connected to the transmission and auxiliaries via a clutch, and operated by a control system. The flywheel structure may be optionally metallic or composite.
