minus-square【J】【u】【s】【t】【Z】linkEnglish-1•10 months agoOh I was looking at constant velocity transmissions. Similar concept to the uniwheel, as far as the gearing. As least, if I understand it correctly.
minus-squarebrianorcalinkEnglish1•10 months agoWhen transmissions are discussed, the acronym CV stands for continuously variable. (As opposed to a transmission with 3-5 discrete gear ratios.) But yes, some CVT designs do use planetary gears, especially for hybrid gas-electric models. CVJ = constant velocity joint CVT = continuously variable transmission
It’s still a fixed ratio though?

Thank you for squaring me away, here.
