I can SEE why it works, I need to know how the math works I can SEE the curves interaction in my mind, but I can't do it on paper or software yet

I won't post my prototype videos, but it does work and I'm trying to understand why so I can simulate and design it further

The real curve

a clockwork mainspring, but I don't want to say that or the illustrated graph to give it away. I have designed a very simple CVT using a pullback motor as a sort of KERS system. I am trying to explore the torque response of a "sideways" differential with it's casing geared to a mainspring component.

road resistances

I'm an electronic engineer, but not a very good one. But I do have something here- you should see the stinking maths involved in the rest of the system! I had to go to too many people before realising the answer sat in Horology.

is this a better image to rewrite my question from?

I don't know standard terminology, I'm struggling with this.

T(s), time in seconds. I've rewrote the question.

F(x) is a function of resistance vs angular displacement of the differentials casing. F(y) describes some load resistances against time in seconds, t(s). I may be using strange terminology.

Thank you for your reply. G1& G2 describe the differentials gearing between input and the resistive element. I want to know how to model the torque response of such a system. I have nominated omega to represent mechanical resistance (both in the resistive element and load).

looking for some assistance working out torque equations for this set-up please.
