Abstract

See full text

A hydrostatic clutch system for dually charging the accumulators while speeding up and slowing down. The hydrostatic clutch system includes a hydraulic pump having a pump housing with openings therein; a manifold/end cover; and a fluid circuit assembly in operable communication with the hydraulic pump. The hydrostatic clutch system may be used with at least one transmission or gear set in operable communication with the hydrostatic clutch. The hydrostatic clutch system may be used to create a variable speed from a fixed input speed. The hydrostatic clutch system may also be used as a hybrid system by changing the pump into a motor for launch and for powering the vehicle with the engine disconnected using accumulated hydraulic pressure. The hydrostatic clutch system captures the resistance of the weight of the vehicle in order to make power while the vehicle is accelerating.
