Abstract: An on-board electrical powered regeneration system for vehicles propelled by an electric traction motor and having an electrical storage cell bank composed of a rotatable flywheel operatively connected to an impeller, a fuel combustor arranged to emit a stream of gas directed to impinge on the impeller, a supply of fuel for the combustor, a generator driven by the flywheel, and electric power control means connected between the generator and the cell bank to convert the electrical output of the generator to a form compatible with the cell bank. Use of the flywheel as a power retainer and booster is also disclosed.
