Patent attributes
An electromechanical drive system for a mechanical power load. The system includes an electric motor connectable to an electric power source, a first transmission connected at one side with a first end of the shaft of the electric motor and connectable at the other end with a load, an electric power generator, and a second transmission connected at one side with a second end of the shaft of the electric motor, which extends in a direction opposite to that of the first end of the shaft of the electric motor, and which is connected at the other side with the electric power generator, wherein the electric power generator is electrically connectable via a switch with a power source and the electric motor, such that the electric current from the power generator can be directed either to electric power source or to an electric motor, with which charging of the electric power source is achieved when a need of the load for mechanical power is reduced.
