A method for transmission of rotational or linear energy and a device implementing that method in which inertia of a member that is a non liquid physical body put in motion repeatedly by a difference in the angular or linear speeds of an input shaft and an output shaft is the means for providing variable degree of engagement between said shafts where the number of changes in speed or speed and direction of said member and therefore said degree of engagement is proportional to the difference of linear, angular or linear and angular speeds of said input and output shafts. Since the degree of engagement greatly depends on the mass of the inertial member changing the mass of said member during operation can further expand the range of torque transmitted.
