flywheel device

Abstract

Abstract PURPOSE:To both reduce torque of an engine at its starting and easily adjust a load of the engine, by circumferentially and radially dividing the hollowed part of a hollow cylinderical body secured to a rotary shaft, pouring liquid in inner and outer chambers of said part and adjusting a quantity of the liquid with compressed air. CONSTITUTION:If a rotary shaft 1 is rotated, a medium 12 of fluid, filled in an individual inner chamber 4, is caused by centrifugal force to flow an outer chamber 5 from the first pipe line 6, and rotary kinetic energy can be stored. When compressed gas is fed to the outer chamber 5 through the third pipe line 8 by a compressed air controller communicated to the second pipe line 7, the medium 12 of fluid in the outer chamber 5 passes through the first pipe line 6, and is forcibly fed to the inner chamber 4 to release rotary kinetic energy. At this time, air in the inner chamber 4 can be discharged or sucked through a ventilation hole 9, ventilation chamber 10 and valve box 11 provided internally peripherally of an upper part of the inner chamber 4.
