  2. Continuously variable transmission - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuously_variable...

    Some CVTs can also function as an infinitely variable transmission (IVT) which offers an infinite range of low gears (e.g. moving a vehicle forward at an infinitely slow speed). Some IVTs prevent back driving (where the output shaft can freely rotate, like an automotive transmission in neutral) due to providing high back-driving torque. Other ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variomatic

    Variomatic is the continuously variable transmission (CVT) of the Dutch car manufacturer DAF, originally developed by Hub van Doorne. [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 ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VTi_transmission

    GM claims that the CVT's bands, normally a weak spot in CVTs, are reliable for at least 100,000 miles (161,000 km). A 225 mm (8.9 in) torque converter is also used. In 2004 GM extended the transmission's warranty on all 2002–2005 GM vehicles with the VTi to 5 years / 75,000 miles (120,700 km) due to high failure rates. Applications:

  5. NuVinci continuously variable transmission - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NuVinci_Continuously...

    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 ...

    Transmission lines are the more powerful part of the electrical grid as opposed to distribution lines. Distribution lines refer to the electrical poles, often wooden, that directly serve ...

  7. Transmission (mechanical device) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transmission_(mechanical...

    A continuously variable transmission (CVT) can change seamlessly through a continuous range of gear ratios. This contrasts with other transmissions that provide a limited number of gear ratios in fixed steps. The flexibility of a CVT with suitable control may allow the engine to operate at a constant RPM while the vehicle moves at varying speeds.
