INFINITELY VARIABLE TRANSMISSION SYSTEM USING OSCILLATING TORQUE

Abstract

The Infinitely Variable Transmission (IVT) system is  a  automatic  gearbox  designed  to  save  fuel,  give  a  smoother drive  and  improve  performance  of  the  vehicle.  The  purpose  of the  IVT  is  to  allow  the  engine  to  maintain  an  almost  constant speed.  The  Infinitely  Variable  Transmission  system  (IVT)  is  a transmission    design   that    transmits    mechanical    power   via oscillating torque. It is different from the traditional speed ratio methods. This infinitely variable transmission (IVT) controls the output torque its opposite from the output speed ratio. From zero torque  to  the  full  capacity  of  torque  output  it  is  the  infinitely variable torque. it can be produced with no clutching or torque conversion  required  at  the  input  in  the  IVT.  The  centrifugal forces of rotating eccentric masses is mounted on shaft to create an  oscillating  torque  which  harness  the  power.  The  function  of One-way   clutches   is   to   convert   the   oscillating   torque   to   a unidirectional   torque.   In   the   infinitely   variable   transmission (IVT) system a series of offset masses used to transmit torque to the  output   shaft   which  comes  after  the  clutches.
