  • Controlled applied resistance multiple axis continually variable differential transmission
    Patent number: 9574661
    Abstract: The embodiments disclose a method and apparatus for controlling the output ratio of the speed of operation and distribution of power/energy from a primary power source, applying continuously variable resistance using a multiple axis continually variable differential transmission to a primary power source input to adjust the rotational power level and speed output to match an operator adjustable performance speed setting at the same, slower decelerated or faster accelerated speed or power level in the same or reverse direction; and controlling the operation of the multiple axis continually variable differential transmission to match the operator desired performance speed using a programmable control system to process operator input, load stored operating parameters, and modify operating parameters based on operator input and adjusting continuously variable resistance operations.
