Abstract
An engine has an output shaft which is connected with a generator and a motor. A control device is provided to operate the generator in a high output torque period and to operate the motor in a low output torque period in an operating cycle of the engine. Thus, the generator applies a negative torque to the output shaft whereas the motor applies a positive torque to the output shaft to thereby moderate the output torque fluctuations.
