Go to Post I've been inspired for real engineering during the build season and on the playing field, but the inspiration I found in the pits is often for creative thinking and intuition. - artdutra04 [more]

Interesting... didn't know a true CVT had been built before. I thought about a toroidial CVT, but then you have the problem that you brought up (control of gear ratios). Also, you have the issue of torque transfer between two non-interlocking metal surfaces. How did you guys solve this problem? I suppose you could use a high COF material and use acid-etching to make the metal surface porous. Or am I making this problem larger than it is?
If I remember correctly from the explanation given to me at 2002 Nationals, the toroids are polished metal, and it works flawlessly. Very high Mu, they told us
