  • Patent number: 5243868
    Abstract: A continuously and infinitely variable mechanical power transmission that utilizes the principles of gyrodynamics in a torque converter and gearing arrangement as its means of achieving continuous and infinitely variable torque ratios between input and output rotary members.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 4169391
    Abstract: A gyroscopic type, infinitely variable, fully automatic, mechanical power transmission, speed changer, or torque converter capable of transmitting a wide range of output torques and automatically performing at the most appropriate input-to-output rotational speed ratio for the most efficient transmission of power in any given situation.In its most basic design, it comprises a rotatable main frame, two identical and separate sub-frame members which are rotatably mounted within the main frame, four identical gyroscopic-type rotors which are coaxially spin-mounted in pairs within the sub-frames, and two stators, one for each sub-frame, with each stator circumferentially positioned around the sub-frame member.Operationally, the rotors have radii of gyrations which are varied automatically in predetermined sequence in concert with the rotation of their sub-frame members.
