Yes, I've been thinking about the bands, there are some possibilities of building a one way clutch, and something I'm working on that I call a limited slipping clutch. It works on the idea that the clutch holds the part still until a certain amount of force is applied, then it starts to slip and and all heck breaks loose, not that this clutch will probably be a one time use device. The other big issue I see at this time is the fact that in an automatic transmission there are pneumatic "breaks". They are what hold the gears in the gearset to get the different ratios. I need to find a way to make something like that to make an efficient gearset.
