THERE IS NOTHING TO PATENT, NOR DISCUS IN THIS THING, IT'S A SIMPLE MACHINE SYSTEM, LIKE TRYING TO PATENT A SIMPLE WHEEL. BUT THANKS FOR THE UPLOAD ANYWAY
The purpose of this project was not to copy anyone's idea. Rather this project was made only to show the basic principle of how variable transmission works. Obviously an original system would comprise of larger details (mainly a closed loop system). A lot if literature is found on cone CVT (Refer to Evans Friction Cone on Wikipedia).
This model is a poorly made copy of a project developed by me. I was very surprised when I saw. I wonder how my patent filed in 2006 as an industrial secret was copied by you.
@Genumano Hey there. Just browsing through the internet, I have found multiple patents that cover the same "cone-disc-cone" system illustrated in this video. So the premise of this design is pretty much public and open. However, this does not include mounting fixtures and other minuscule details that go into making the design work -- is that what you are referring to?
For the future, you shouldn't patent something you want kept totally secret!
@infiniteDefinitives You could tell me in which web sites you get information about this model? It's amazing the resemblance to my invention. With their information in hand, I can sue the government agency in which I placed my patent and trade secret.
@Genumano Unfortunately, it must have been months since I looked through the patents. However, I found a quick reference to this type of CVT at gizmology-dot net-slash-cvt-dot-htm
What's in this video is a very common design for CVTs which has been patented since as early as 1930.
You really can't sue them unless:
1. They have caused damages to you physically/financially
2. They are profiting from the design (note that this is a university in the middle east)
nice work

This is clearly a lower class CVT. For those who are entitled to afford, Bentley uses only Burled Walnut cones in their CVT transmission.

Awesome explanation of CVTs. I've been wanting to build one - don't tell Genumano tho..:P
