Team 19 CVT (My own version.)



I've been developing my own version of a CVT-though I'll admit, it's not comparable to George's.

The idea is that the dome tilts about 15 degrees to either the left or right.
The dome itself (though not exactly shown in the picture) is basically a giant gear, and each individual wheel has floating sprocket bars.



In this one, the green circle is a gear that meshes with a disk that has floating sprocket bars in it. The grey parts are lead screws to move the disk back and forth.

Any suggestions for improvement?
