An I.C. engine (B) drives an exhaust gas turbine (T) which drives a flywheel (S) through a clutch (K1). The flywheel stores energy and can when required drive an energy consuming machine (X) e.g. an air compressor, by way of a clutch (K2). Alternatively, an electric vehicle with regenerative braking has a further motor, separate from the traction motor, which drives a flywheel. The flywheel can be connected through a clutch to an electrical generator which then supplies electrical power to the traction motor or to ancilliaries. <IMAGE> |
