Nice concept. I'm glad they addressed my concern of having to power the second shaft. I was on board until he said he estimated it to be an _order of magnitude_ more efficient than the current CVT transmissions (not geared transmissions, but CVTs even!). We'll see where this ends up when you figure in powering that second shaft. I'm guessing (with no facts or numbers whatsoever) that it will be on par with losses associated with a torque converter (which may be OK because at the end of the day this thing is still a high-torque CVT). -Don "I'm a computer engineer not a mechanical engineer" Shankin -- You are currently subscribed to the "R/C Tank Combat" group.
