Hey its been awhile, but my LCPL connection has got me a helo (HELICOPTER) throttle controller. my contacts and connections are finally working for me............ the only problem is i'm going to IraQ in september and that will either kill me or give me enough money to send this project...
I belive the actual "Load" of the equation is not being considered here. the amount of friction that a CVT belt is subjected to when "flowing" up to a higher gear ratio is much more considerable than downshifting. Although, friction does uccur when downshifting, but seems irrevelnent since it...
Through out my research I did see something about new regulations on the type of trannies available for f-1 and other racing vihicles... I think siesmonic or triptronics were being considered for future use. The tanssmissions going through a strict screening and such before eligble to race. If I...
True some automatics are getting very sophisticated, but for mechanics and car enthu. we could care less for sophistication, and want something fun or chalenging to drive.
I cant say i like the CVTs produced in the US (ford 500,Merc Montego) .
The european market looks good (ie mini, audi ect)...
Very true, but Look at the ford 500, and its competetors. Ford has 200 hp gas efficient v-6, and the accura of that class, has 250hp, but the acceleration of the ford is faster+more efficient in gas.
"So what's up with Ford's reasoning to equip these cars with only a 3.0-liter V-6, when...
The trouble of all this is;
a change of duty station to JAPAN, whether or not the patent works (i'll do it any way),
and using a torque conveter or not (it will have a manual clutch).

Nice feed back and suggestions Peterson.
The patent does include the shifter which I thought must have to be a system including a vaiable resistor (like that of a car on an electric track or even a volume control knob) but the point is to have three desired ways to drive or operate the vehicle...
Please read what others have written on the other forum and youll understand that the tranny will keep the automatic ratio control ie(ECU), as an option. Why not make it both? The mini has preprogrammed gears and the option of auto. The mini also has a friction plate type clutch (similar to 5...

A CVT can be less expensive to construct than an automatic, more versatile than a manual, and can span gear ratios larger than traditional manuals. The control system is a major part of the CVT’s success. CVTs can be controlled...
Notes: not Seismonic or Triptronic.
-I have the idea going through a patent at the time.
I would like some feed back and possible suggested CVT's that can go through a modification that allows the driver to adjust the ratio of a cvt "manually". I designed a center console with a "Slider"...
There is alot more information on CVT's in japan where they are are being used More and more
lately.

Im heading up there for my next duty station.
If any one could help me find out the who what wheres of a CVT that can withdstand high rpms and torque (besides...
