Abstract

See full text

A system for assisting propulsion of a vehicle by utilizing stored spring strain energy is disclosed. The propulsion assistance system includes a disc assembly, a caliper and friction brake assembly, a centrifugal clutch assembly, a torsion spring pan assembly, a rear bearing, a shaft, and a front bearing. The caliper and friction brake assembly holds the disc assembly until released, and slowly transfers energy from the torsion spring to the centrifugal clutch assembly, via the shaft. The disc assembly holds the shaft until released by actuating the caliper and friction brake assembly. Release of the friction brake in the caliper and friction brake assembly allows the disc and shaft to turn at variable speeds. Stored strain energy is passed through the shaft to the centrifugal clutch, which engages to assist the drivetrain and convert the strain energy to kinetic energy.
