Title of the Invention HYBRID POWER SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR OPERATING SAME Abstract of the Disclosure A hybrid power system and method in which a piston engine prims mover having a direct crank shaft power output is combined with a kinetic energy storing flywheel and a variable speed transmission in a manner such that the flywheel serves both as a crank shaft flywheel and as a supply of kinetic energy used to augment the power developed by the prime mover, as a substitute for prime mover developed power or as an auxiliary source of power for continued operation of prime mover driven accessories while the prime mover is shut off. The system enables the storage of kinetic energy resulting from the momentum of an inertial load such as an automotive vehicle and in doing so, conserves the kinetic energy of vehicular deceleration and enables engine shut- down during intermittent operation such as operation of an automotive vehicle under city driving conditions. The variable speed transmission is preferably an infinitely variable or I.V. transmission which augments the energy storing capacity of the flywheel and further enables a direct drive relationship between the prime mover and the load.
