<p>A computer controlled variable transmission in which power is transferred from an input shaft (1) through gearing (2, 3) to idler cones (6, 12) mounted in sequence by gearing means thence to an output shaft (16). The transmission ratio is a function of the ratio of output power required to the input torque as determined by a torque sensing means. Multiple input (5) and output (7) drive wheels, mounted on jackshafts (4) placed equidistant around the cones (6, 12) provide stability and eliminate slippage.</p> |
