MECANISME DE VOLANT A CAPACITE VARIABLE ET MOTEUR EN COMPORTANT L'APPLICATION AVEC UN CIRCUIT DE COMMANDE

摘要

A variable capacity flywheel mechanism for an engine employs a main flywheel 5 coupled to the engine crankshaft 1. An auxiliary flywheel 14 is connected to the main flywheel by means of an electromagnetic clutch 7, and the clutch is actuated in response to a magnetizing signal in accordance with r.p.m. of the crankshaft. The auxiliary flywheel may also be used for driving a magneto or a pump. The electromagnetic clutch may comprise a friction-type clutch or a powder-type clutch.
