What is a CVT?A continuously variable transmission
(CVT) is a transmission which can change seamlessly through an infinite number of
effective gear ratios. This allows the motor to putout the proper amount of power improving on efficacy of traditional transmissions.

Basics of TransmissionThe job of the transmission
is to change the speed ratio between the engine and the wheels of an automobile.
The transmission uses a range of gears -- from low to high -- to make more effective use of the engine's torque as driving conditions change. The gears can be engaged manually or automatically.

Applications of cvt in automobile
Most major automobile companies have already started experimenting with CVT technology.
Can adapt to older vehicles with traditional transmissions.
Claims of a 20% gain in fuel economy compared to past transmission technology.

Applications of cvt in heavy industry
Fully adaptable drive system for industrial Land Vehicles.
Adjustments and maintenance made easer through smaller parts and computer monitoring technology.

Applications of cvt in Oil Production
Could reduce Power costs by allowing motors to maintaining constant loads.
Testing will show actual results. Right now its only speculation.

Applications of cvt in Wind Energy technology
Allows for a Possible 3.5 speed increase, allowing for a increase in efficiency.
Prevents over speeding of fan blades.
REDUCED COST!
Using CVT technology can reduce the cost of a wind turbine by about $80,000 ( ₹4813199.72 )

AdvantagesCVTs can compensate for changing vehicle
speeds, allowing the engine speed to remain at its level of peak power and efficiency. This improves fuel economy and reduce exhaust emissions.
There are 25% fewer moving parts to a CVT transmission.
Cheaper on wind power applications. And can prevent damage from high winds.

Benefits of CVTProvide engine torque in optimum condition (road
loads / drive shaft torque)
No shift clonk
Transmission ratio can be adjusted continuously
Improved fuel efficiency
Better acceleration
Eliminates gear hunting especially when going up a hill

Draw Backs of CVTBecomes Jerky in automobile applications
at slow speeds.
Intricate parts with high material cost. Examples of materials in CVT, Silicon Nitride, Silicon Carbide, Electroless Nickel, Electroplated Nickel
New technology so there are limited people that understand the operations with in a CVT.
