I'm fascinated. I can't quite figure out how the device actuates/selects a ratio. Yes the CVT type is used in some modern cars and was flaunted by Nissan for a new bulky hyped station wagon called a Murano.
I think the design has a lot of merit for small cars and "truckars" (like the VW Golf/Rabbit pickup).
This seems like the perfect choice for a motorised bicycle and possibly some small motorcycles. I would rather have some way to select the ratio though, or to tune the device for the approximate load and acceleration requirements of the vehicle (motor bicycle).
