[0022]Conventional accessory drive systems operate by transferring engine output directly to the accessories so the accessories are driven at a speed directly proportional to engine speed. Since the engine operates over a wide speed range (e.g., between 500 rpm and 7,000 rpm), the accessories are typically designed to provide full capacity at the low end of the engine speed range in order to ensure they remain fully operational. Therefore, when the engine is operating at higher speeds, conventional accessory drive systems transfer more energy to the accessories than necessary to provide adequate function. The excess energy transferred to the accessories causes inefficiency and diminishes fuel economy. The accessory drive system 10 (shown in FIG. 1) of the present invention allows the accessories to be driven at a predetermined optimal speed independent from the speed at which the engine is running in order to improve fuel economy. The predetermined optimal speed at which the accesso...
