Well, I am starting to warm up to the idea somewhat. I think that I see how the cone gears teeth pitch can effectively change as the cones section diameter...
The pitch diameter of cones determines the ratio minus the small correction in the non integer diameters. What "small correction"? If the pitch is determined...

Actually, a push belt (or chain) type CVT is one of the more efficient type of CVTs. There is no spin loss in this type of CVT. Unfortunately, the torque,...
