A nonpropellant inertial device to propel structures on and off earth is disclosed. Secured on a rigid planar base are electrically powered motors for two crankshafts. Pair of parallel linkages are connected between the crankshafts and the sides of a freely rotatable cylintrical weight. The crankshafts rotate differentially to create straight-line reciprocating motion to the linkages. The linkages are design to only pull the cylindrical weight from one side then the other causing the weight to rotate back and forth in reciprocal motion, traverse to the straight-line motion of the linkages. High frequency impulses alternate from the sides of the cylintrical weight with each impulse being a simultaneous action-reaction event. However, only part of the angular action to the weight, directly opposes the straight-line reaction to the crankshafts. Therefore, a net amount of reaction remains to impart unidirectional inertial propulsion to the mover. Two similar cylintrical weight systems are generally used for cancelling out lateral vibrations to the mover.

A parallel hybrid power transmission mechanism includes a crank shaft, a driven device to which a power of an engine and/or a motor generator is transmitted, an input shaft disposed on the driven device, a flywheel connected to the crank shaft, and a rotor disposed on the motor generator, including a first connecting portion connected to an outside of the flywheel. The rotor is configured to supply and receive a rotational power to and from the flywheel through the first connecting portion. The parallel hybrid power transmission mechanism further includes a coupling arranged independently from the rotor, including a second connecting portion connected to an inside of the flywheel, the coupling being configured to receive the rotational power of the flywheel through the second connecting portion, and an intermediate shaft connecting the coupling and the input shaft to each other, the intermediate shaft being configured to transmit the rotational power received by the coupling to the input shaft.

A mechatronic transmission for transmitting a torque from the drive shaft that can be supported axially on a shaft to an output shaft, the rotational speeds of which can have an arbitrary and variable ratio (stepless transmission). The transmission includes a coupling gear and a torsion spring, with the coupling gear rotatably mounted on the same shaft and connected to the output shaft by the torsion spring, and having a first coupling for producing and cancelling a rotationally fixed, planar, force-fitting first coupling between the drive shaft and the coupling gear. The transmission comprises a supporting device which is rotatable having a fixed transmission ratio of 1:X relative to the output shaft, where X can be any real number between approximately 10 and 1, and a second coupling for producing and cancelling a rotationally fixed, force-fitting second coupling between the supporting device and the coupling gear.
