A power supply system comprises an internal combustion engine 10 and an electric motor generator arrangement that is coupled to the internal combustion engine 10. The internal combustion engine 10 has a piston-cylinder assembly in which a toroidal section-shaped piston 22 and cylinder 20 are each arranged to rotate, in use, about a common axis A with respect to a stator arrangement 30, 32 of the associated motor-generator arrangement so as to generate an electric output. The piston 22 and cylinder 20 are arranged with springs 24, 25 to form a mass-elastic system capable of resonance and further arranged such that combustion in the combustion chamber 21 formed between the cylinder 20 and piston 22 can cause the piston 22 and cylinder 20 to oscillate relative to each other about their common rotational axis A. Overall rotation may form an energy store for a vehicle hybrid system.
