Re: pic: CVT drivetrain

I'm curious how many of you have heard of using magnetics to create a change in processing path on a processor. it works allot like a hard drive and was turned down in favor of our current method by silicon valley. now however its being taken up with fervor. why because unknown to everyone it allows a computer to instantly specialize itself in any process it needs to do by rewiring the paths of its own circuits. this is a very good example of how something automatically labeled as inefficient turned out to be superior. i see allot of people claiming this as inefficient but i spent almost three days learning and talking to people and its become obvious quite a few posts are based on no physical information further more instead of criticizing an idea why not try to give suggestions. this system has many benefits that i feel are simply being overlooked. the problem with most drive trains is that when you change gear you have to slow down. while you can do it at high speeds it literally shocks the transmission. (this is not something i want to see argument because i checked this with my dad who drag races and my moms friend who teaches racing) a CVT can make these changes on the fly and not suffer a RPM drop. yes these systems have drawbacks mostly endurance but they wont be on a large strain. i would like to point out FIRST is not about having well designed systems its about showing innovation. so i ask anyone posting from here on please show some innovation I'm really tired of seeing lots of post turning down an idea and few posts (thank you to the ones who do) that show thought into creating new or improved ideas. i know im going to get allot of fire for this but im just tired of seeing all hiss and no ideas (agian i thank those who prove to be the exception).
