Abstract
A drive system for a high-inertia load, such as a motor vehicle including a fly-wheel, comprises a prime-mover for setting the high-inertia body into motion and for maintaining the motion thereof during the operation of the drive system, a driven device driven by the high-inertia body, a bi-directional variable speed unit coupling the high-inertia body to the driven device for controlling its speed during the operation of the drive system such that when the driven device is accelerating it draws energy from the high-inertia body, and when it is decelerating it returns energy to the high-inertia body, and a control system automatically controlling the prime-mover to supply sufficient energy to the high-inertia body to make up for losses. Two types of control systems are described, one being energy-responsive, and the other being power-responsive.
