A cone CVT varies the drive ratio by moving a wheel or belt along the axis of one or more conical rollers. The simplest type of cone CVT, the single-cone version, uses a wheel that moves along the slope of the cone, creating variation between the narrow and wide diameters of the cone. Some cone CVT designs use two rollers.

[1] It is a stepless, fully- automatic transmission , consisting of a V-shaped drive-belt, and two pulleys , each of two cones, whose effective diameter can be changed so that the "V" belt runs nearer the spindle ...
The NuVinci CVT gear system uses a set of rotating and tilting balls positioned between the input and output discs of a transmission. Tilting the balls changes their contact diameters and varies the speed ratio. [5] [6] As a result, the NuVinci CVT system offers seamless and continuous transition to any ratio within its range. The gear ratio is ...
The report says California is most likely to face grid problems annually in September between the hours of 5:00 and 8:00 PM, when the sun isn’t providing as much energy but demand is still high.
