Exhaust gases from an engine, input to turbo-compounder, drive a bladed turbine rotor therein, which drives a multi-phase AC generator, the output of which is used to electrically drive a multi-phase induction motor, the rotor of which is mechanically coupled to the engine, so as to provide for recovering power to the engine. The multi-phase AC generator may be coupled to the engine either by closure of a contactor, engagement of an electrically-controlled clutch, or by control of either a solid-state switching or control system or an AC excitation signal, when the frequency (f.sub.GENERATOR) of the multi-phase AC generator meets or exceeds that (f.sub.MOTOR) of the multi-phase induction motor.

Provided is a rotary electric machine including: a permanent magnet rotatable around a first rotational shaft and disposed at a distance from a main surface of a moving body rotating or moving, at least a part of a side surface of the permanent magnet continuous to an outer peripheral surface thereof being opposed to the main surface of the moving body, wherein the permanent magnet is rotated around the first rotational shaft by a reaction force acting on the permanent magnet, the reaction force being caused by eddy currents produced in the main surface of the moving body in such a direction as to hinder a change of magnetic flux from the permanent magnet, and a surface speed of the side surface of the permanent magnet opposed to the moving body is lower than a surface speed of the main surface of the moving body opposed thereto.
