I am wrong

P.J. is right. The differential idea proposed by Tytus is exactly like the CCT with a 1:1 ratio between the sun and ring gear. Hey, even us unsung FIRST heroes are wrong from time to time.

That being said, only one motor contributes to the output torque of the system. The other motor acts like a speed increaser at the same output torque (if balanced correctly). All the equations derived in my whitepaper for the CCT apply to Tytus' design.
