Thank you everyone for helping me with this question. It originally started with the fantasy of discovering a new CVT concept, however along the way I learned many new things! Once again I thank you all!

Rising Highschooler Attempting to Solve Various Problems

Thank you! As for claiming it works, I've added a video of using the differential will no force and then applying force to the output. The input is the gray carrier gear and the output is the black carrier gear. I appologise for the quality as I had to zoom in, and could only make the file size...

sorry... Im just a rising highschooler who stumbled upon an idea that I didn't fully understand, hence I came here. For my recent absence I do apologize due to third quarter testing. On that note, would it be able to "dumb-down" some terms where possible? Again I apologize for the misunderstandings.

Yes, i can

Thank you so much! I have been stuck around this point for a very long time! So in summary, all this does is vary the speed?

I did a little more digging and found my exact concept in this article: LINK The article also shares a video in step 1 by Autstron: LINK *Step 12 shares that the CVT might require friction in some places to work*

So the idea is that the first differential will blend the power between both gear ratio paths. One path is a 1:1 gear ratio, and the other is a 2:1 gear ratio. By default, the open differential wants to send power with the 1:1 gear ratio. However, depending on the amount of torque required, the...

The carrier of the gray open differential is the input, and the carrier of the black open differential is the output

I made a CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) that uses two differentials to first split power between two gear ratios based on torque (1:1 and 2:1), and then recombine the separate rotations into a single output via a second differential. Yes, I did test this out, and it works. However, My...
