Abstract
The invention relates to a drive system for a vehicle, comprising at least one asymmetrical rotor (18), which has at least one rotor blade (20) extending radially from a rotor axle, and a counterweight (22) which is opposite the rotor axle, the system further comprising a control device for the electric motor (24), which connects the electric motor (24) to a battery for the power supply thereof, and is configured and designed, during a revolution cycle, which includes 1-3 revolutions of the rigid rotor blade (20), to bring about at least one acceleration phase, in which the electric motor (24) can be accelerated to accelerate the rotor (18), and at least one braking phase, in which the electric motor (24) can be braked, the control device being designed, during at least part of the braking phase, to connect the electric motor (24) to at least one battery element (28) in generator mode.
