The ESE Engine system is a computer controlled electrical drive system for the transportation industry, specifically targeted at full electric and hybrid electric cars.

Developed in 1978 by Bohacz at KJB Research Labs Inc. this system was and still is far ahead of its time. Multiple microprocessors are used to control all aspects of operation of both the electrical engine system and the vehicle. 

The engine incorporates one or more integral fly wheels as an energy reservoir. The fly wheel and stator form a single integrated part inside the electric engine. A computer controlled electromagnetic clutch (coupling) is used to transfer energy from the flywheel applying it to the vehicles wheels through a variable ratio transmission. Altering the transmission ratio controls the speed of the vehicle. Regenerative braking is used to reclaim some of the energy typically lost during decelerations.

By smoothing and augmenting power demands with kinetic energy in the fly wheel, and by computer controlling all aspects of vehicle operations: throttle, braking, climate control, headlights, aerodynamics, etc... the effective range of the vehicle is maximized for all existing battery technologies. Today, over twenty-three years later, the current state-of-the-art hybrid electric car is just beginning to become what the ESE Engine System was designed to be.
