Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0052329A2] This invention relates to an electric machine which may act as a (flywheel)-starter-motor, and/or a generator for internal-combustion-engines (called i.c.engines or engines hereafter). A planetary gear/brake/clutch arrangement offers two gear-speeds and a freewheel. Thanks to the freewheel-mode, the machine may be permanently connected to the i.c.engine and is therefore perfectly suited for turbo-compounding, offering a fast shaft to combine an exhaust-turbine with a, preferably, non-turbo compressor. The invention moreover relates to the various practical forms, matching control-devices and auxiliaries which enable the machine to be used in a number of different applications. The electric configuration of the machines used, may differ, depending on the application.
