Solution Overview
Problem
Current Continually Variable Transmissions (CVTs) are inefficient due to their reliance on friction to create variable ratios, which negates the efficiency gains in moderate to high horsepower applications, especially when matching engine or motor performance with desired needs.
Innovation Solution
A kinetic energy transference device (KETD) integrated with a CVT planetary gear system, utilizing a flywheel storage system and multiple computer-controlled modules to manage kinetic energy efficiently, storing surplus energy and adjusting ratios without friction, and a speed governor to control energy flow.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If friction-based CVT designs are used to create variable ratios, then the transmission can adjust speed continuously, but energy efficiency deteriorates due to friction losses
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the traditional friction-based mechanical CVT mechanism with a magnetic field-based system. Magnets mounted on a rotating drum create variable magnetic fields that induce currents in conductor bars, enabling continuous variable ratio transmission without physical contact or friction between transmission components.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent employs magnetic fields and electromagnetic induction principles instead of mechanical friction. The magnetic field system acts as a non-contact transmission medium, where magnetic flux and induced currents replace the mechanical friction interface, eliminating energy loss through contact friction while maintaining continuous variable ratio capability.
2Adaptability or versatility
If friction-based CVT designs are used, then variable transmission ratios are achieved, but device wear increases due to friction
Solution Approach 1:
The patent eliminates mechanical contact between transmission components by substituting the friction-based mechanical interface with a magnetic field-based electromagnetic interface. The magnets and conductor bars operate without physical contact, preventing wear and extending component life while maintaining variable ratio transmission capability.
3Use of energy by moving object
If multi-speed transmissions are used to match engine efficiency with performance needs, then operating efficiency improves, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a universal transmission system that combines the functions of multiple discrete speed gears into a single continuous variable ratio mechanism. The magnetic field system can continuously adjust transmission ratios across the entire operating range, replacing multiple fixed-ratio gear sets and their associated shift mechanisms with one adaptable system.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transforms the static, discrete gear ratios of multi-speed transmissions into a dynamic, continuous variable ratio system. The magnetic field strength and distribution can be continuously adjusted by varying the rotational position of the magnets, enabling smooth transition through all intermediate ratios without mechanical shifting complexity.
