Continuously Variable Transmission Idea

[Averagesupernova]

So the guy is wrong? He built an over complicated clutch mechanism that slips?

As he defined it, the input and output are the differential carriers. My thoughts are that it outputs whatever is input, no matter what.

He said:

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.

I then replied in post #10 explaining my position which has remained unchanged. He then replies:

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?

So which is it? In one post he claims it was tested and works. In another post he acts as if he doesn't understand it. Asks if it just varies speed when I clearly explained that it does not. As far as your comment about slipping, there are other posters in this thread that have talked about slipping, or at least I assume they were eluding to it by talking about friction. @jack action posted something in post #8. I apologize if I misinterpreted. Meanwhile, the OP has not been back.

Simple rule: When the OP does not come back, he realized his idea fell flat.
