Method to decouple engine speed from hydraulic pump speed through an electric motor driven variator
A work machine includes an engine for driving a primary working unit. At least one hydraulically powered auxiliary working unit is powered by a hydraulic pump. The engine and an electric motor both provide power to the hydraulic pump via a planetary gear set which sums the power inputs from the engine and the electric motor. The pump speed of the hydraulic pump is thereby decoupled from the engine speed of the engine.
KINETIC ENERGY TRANSFERENCE DEVICE METHOD AND DEVICES
The embodiments disclose a method including transferring kinetic energy from a kinetic energy source to a flywheel storage device system, transferring all or a portion of the kinetic energy stored to a continually variable transmission planetary gear system, integrating a multiple axis mechanism kinetic energy transference device to the continually variable transmission planetary gear system, integrating multiple speed governors in the multiple axis mechanism kinetic energy transference device, coupling a computer controlled module to each of the speed governors, processing operational data with the computer controlled modules to determine a measured most efficient use of the kinetic energy for each operation, transmitting the operation measured most efficient use amount of the kinetic energy from the computer controlled module to the corresponding speed governor, transferring the amount of the kinetic energy through gears and output shafts/drive shafts to serve operations and storing surplus kinetic energy not needed for operations in the flywheel storage system.
