Abstract: A system for generating electrical power in a windmill using a Torque enhanced Transmission. The transmission includes, multiple speed increasers, multiple speed decreasers, and a plurality of flywheels, and clutch assemblies. to form one transmission, The speed increasers speed the flywheel assemblies to a much higher speed than the operating speed of the generator so kinetic energy is maximized before a gear reduction slows down the output shaft to the induction generators operating speed with enhanced torque. The Torque is continually variable while output speeds are designed to be relatively constant. The system allows for multiple input and output shafts and allows for multiple generators to be used in place of a larger single generator.

Abstract: A system and method for generating power includes a motor assembly, an inertia-assisted, torque-enhanced gearbox, including a flywheel assembly and a clutch assembly, and a generator assembly. The motor assembly is used to drive the flywheel assembly up to the generator's designed operating speed. When the flywheel assembly reaches the generator operating speed, the clutch assembly engages and connects the flywheel assembly to the generator assembly. When the flywheel assembly is connected to the generator assembly, it supplies the generator with the starting torque required to start the generator. The motor assembly then supplies the torque necessary to operate the flywheel assembly and the generator assembly at the generator's designed operating speed. When the generator encounters peak loads, the flywheel assembly also supplies peak load torques to the generator assembly. The generator assembly is operable to supply power to a load connected to the generator assembly.
