Abstract

Systems, devices, and methods for using an engine flywheel can provide both electric power output and braking of powered equipment. In particular, an engine flywheel can include a first rotor element configured to be coupled to a drive shaft for rotation with the drive shaft, one or more magnets carried by the first rotor element, the one or more magnets being configured for positioning with respect to a stator to generate electrical current upon rotation of the first rotor element, and a second rotor element configured to be coupled to the drive shaft for rotation with the drive shaft, the second rotor element including a braking surface configured for engagement with a braking element to slow the rotation of the second rotor element.
