@Flo4u2u You obviously missed the whole concept. Badly.

GM developed a CVT in the 50s like that, but materials at the time couldn't effectively transmit engine power. The clamping forces needed to transfer the power of a V8 with out excessive slipping was pretty much crushing the spheres.

any where you touch the ball its going to be same surface!!!!

Dude get the big and small radius the right way round.
-
@bartdereu ditto
-
are thera any way to use it in the midime size generator ?!!
i shud try thate mybe i can save my gas mony by that cvt transmission :)
-
@burninmunkeys immigrants would only complain and get the goverment to change it back,
fucking immigrants.

watched it a hundred times, i still don't get it !

I have watches hundreds of simulations, none of them so clearly as how this guy explains it!
But it doesn't look so maintenance-free as many people say it is!
If you have a motor, OK. But if you are the motor, forget it.
Relative high loses (not disclaimed on the site), heavy (3.85-3.95 kg!).

Due to the phase change fluid being used, internal friction losses are very comparable to any planetary-geared hub - think Nexus, for example. Or most car transmissions.
