416 results about "Continuously variable transmission" patented technology

A continuously variable transmission (CVT), also known as a shiftless transmission, single-speed transmission, stepless transmission, pulley transmission, or, in case of motorcycles, a 'twist-and-go', is an automatic transmission that can change seamlessly through a continuous range of effective gear ratios. This contrasts with other mechanical transmissions that offer a fixed number of gear ratios. The flexibility of a CVT with suitable control may allow the input shaft to maintain a constant angular velocity even as the output speed varies.

Hybrid systems for drones and other modes of transport

A hybrid system for drones and other modes of transport. A combustion engine provides range and / or lifting capacity for drones while electric motors / generators provide both control and maneuverability. One or more combustion engines, in conjunction with one or more electric motors / generators form a propulsion system whereby each is connected to and drives its own driving pinion in one or more planetary gear sets, and provide continuously variable transmission for driving propellers or driveshafts. The combustion engine may be connected directly to one of the planetary gear's driving pinions, or can drive one of the planetary gear's driving pinions. If the propellers are only driven by either a combustion engine, or an electric motor / generator, the other engine / motor will be kept at rest by a braking device for a combustion engine or a braking device for an electric motor / generator.
