The present application relates to an electric machine to regulate the rotational work output speed from an Infinitely Variable Transmission, hereafter noted as IVT, or a Continuously Variable Transmission, hereafter noted as CVT. This application to regulate the work output rotational speed from an IVT or CVT by creating electrical energy may, for explanatory purposes, apply to mechanical gear boxes where it is possible, while holding the input rotational speed constant, to change the work output rotational speed by changing the rotational speed and/or direction of a second rotating shaft. It may, for explanatory purposes, apply to gear boxes using planetary gear sets where the work output rotational speed can be regulated, while holding the input rotational speed constant, by regulating the rotational speed and/or direction of a ring gear. These descriptions are not to limit the scope of this application, but to provide the reader with a sense of what is intended. Since the most common application relating to this device will result in the generation of electrical energy, this energy may be directed, for example, to power the electric supercharger as in patent application Ser. No. 12/802,348, or, in another example, to supply electrical energy to the electric side of a hybrid type of application, and/or power other engine accessories.
